title: Successful external cephalic version after amnioinfusion in a patient with preterm premature rupture of membranes.
abstract: After hospitalization subsequent to preterm premature rupture of membranes at 29 weeks, our patient was scheduled for induction of labor at 34 weeks. When the fetus was found to be breech with oligohydramnios, amnioinfusion was performed to facilitate external cephalic version, and this successful procedure enabled the patient to deliver vaginally.
