[External cephalic version of breech presentation at term].
BACKGROUND
External cephalic version could be an alternative to either vaginal delivery or caesarean section in breech presentation at term.


METHODS
A systematic literature review about external cephalic version in breech presentation.


RESULTS
The numbers of breech presentation delivered by caesarean section could probably be reduced in Norway by offering version, but this would not affect perinatal mortality.
