Funic presentation as a complication of external cephalic version. A case report.
BACKGROUND
Breech presentation is associated with increased risk. External cephalic version (ECV) has been successful in decreasing the incidence of intrapartum breech presentation.


METHODS
Funic presentation occurred as a complication of successful ECV.


CONCLUSIONS
The wide-spread use of version calls for increased surveillance for adverse sequelae. At the completion of ECV, ultrasound analysis, pelvic examination and fetal heart rate monitoring are appropriate to exclude serious cord complications.
