Abstract

Limited reports exist about the frequency of compound presentation after external cephalic version. A compound hand and foot presentation is reported after external cephalic version in a woman desiring vaginal birth after cesarean delivery. We report a mechanism by which a forward roll during external cephalic version may predispose an infant in complete breech position to a compound foot presentation.
