title: [Medical termination of pregnancy. Indications, techniques and complications. Report of 55 cases].
abstract: We tried through this study to reassemble the cases of medical termination of pregnancy for foetal or maternal anomalies and analyse the epidemiological characteristics of our population and the procedures of induction of labour. We report a retrospective study about 55 cases of medical termination of pregnancy during 20 months indexed in service "C" of the centre of maternity and neonalogy in collaboration with the service of fetopathology. 12.73% of our patients were older than 38 years. The incidence of medical termination of pregnancy during the same period was about 1.90 cases/100 deliveries. Maternal indications was reported in 34.55% of cases and neurological malformations dominate the foetal anomalies (47.22%). Extra-amniotic saline infusion was used in 52.72% of cases and was responsible of all the complications observed (16.36%).
