Fractured long bones in a term infant delivered by cesarian section.

A term infant was delivered uneventfully by repeat Cesarian section. At the age of 1 week there was clinical and radiographic evidence of fractures of the left tibia and right radius. The fractures most likely occurred during the cesarian section. Birth trauma should not be excluded on the basis of Cesarian section delivery.

Prevention of premature delivery in a unicornuate uterus by cervical cerclage.

A 26-year-old woman had two premature deliveries when 6 months pregnant. Neither produced a living child. A hysterosalpingogram was done, confirming a diagnosis of unicornuate uterus. When the patient became pregnant again, a third and fourth time, cervical cerclage was done in both cases. Pregnancies were terminated by cesarean section because of breech presentation and malformation of the uterus and in each case a healthy living child was delivered. In our view, in order to prevent premature deliveries, when a diagnosis of uterus malformations has been confirmed, a cerclage should be performed.
