| Abstract | ||
| This prospective study was carried out from the period of October 2004 to October 2005, in Al Kadhmiya Teaching Hospital Baghdad/ Iraq, to establish the influence of placental localization on the fetal position in the uterus and to evaluate the influence of placental localization on fetal position in uterus after exclusion of uterine and fetal anomalies. One hundred primigravida women were involved in this study, 50 of them with cephalic presentation of their fetus and another 50 with breech presentation, localization of the placenta was determined by ultrasonography or during caesarean section. The cornu-fundal localization of the placenta was found in 4.8 % of cephalic presentation and 62% with breech presentation. Placenta previa or low insertion of the placenta was found in 3.2% of breech presentation and none of cases with cephalic presentation. The study conclude that the localization of the placenta may influence the fetal position in the uterus. | ||
