Brow Presentation www.freelivedoctor.com
Brow Presentation Definition It is a cephalic presentation in which the head is midway between flexion and extension. Incidence About 1:1000 labour. www.freelivedoctor.com
Diagnosis During pregnancy:  It is difficult. The occiput and sinciput may be felt at the same level. Ultrasonography and X-ray may be helpful. www.freelivedoctor.com
Diagnosis During labour: In addition to the previous findings, vaginal examination reveals the following features: > frontal bones, > supra-orbital ridges, and >root of the nose but not the chin. www.freelivedoctor.com
Mechanism of Labour * Persistent brow:      The engagement diameter is the mento-vertical 13.5 cm which is longer than any diameter of the inlet so there is no mechanism of labour and labour is obstructed. * Transient brow:     may occur during conversion of vertex into face presentation. So if brow is flexed to become vertex or extended to become face it may be delivered. www.freelivedoctor.com
Management * Early in the first stage: > Exclude contracted pelvis, if present do caesarean section. > The case is considered as transient brow, observed carefully and given a chance for spontaneous conversion into either face or vertex. >The rest of management as other malpresentation. www.freelivedoctor.com

Management In the second stage: The case is considered as persistent brow so: > Caesarean section is done if the foetus is living. > Craniotomy if the foetus is dead. www.freelivedoctor.com
