title: A case report: cephalic replacement and emergency caesarean section for the resolution of shoulder dystocia.
abstract: Shoulder dystocia is a serious complication of delivery. Various manoeuvres had been described, all aim at achieving shoulder descent and vaginal delivery. We report a case whereby shoulder dystocia was managed by a rather unique technique--the foetal head was replaced in the vagina and baby delivered by emergency Caesarean Section.
