A Norwegian study confirms a significantly increased risk of cerebral palsy compared with term vertex presenting infants (relative risk 2.98). There are potential confounders, however: for example, birth defects are three times more common in breech deliveries. The accompanying editorial observes that vaginal breech deliveries have fallen from over 20% (1996) to only 10% (2005) following the ‘Term Breech Trial’ but with consequent de-skilling of the obstetric workforce. Nowadays, only the most experienced obstetricians should manage mothers presenting in breech but too late for caesarean delivery.
