Abstract

The absence of a detailed note describing the maneuvers used to resolve shoulder dystocia often results in an inconsistent and counterproductive representation of the facts. Such a note should include exact times of events, a description of the maneuvers used, and an estimation of the traction forces exerted.

[Neonatal splenic injury: a difficult diagnosis].

Neonatal splenic injury is a rare but serious condition, due to the risk of haemorrhagic shock. We report on the case of a newborn infant with a neonatal respiratory distress that first evoked materno-fetal infection. Clinical deterioration, with anemia and abdominal distension, led then to the proper diagnosis. Dystocia seems to be the most likely cause of the splenic rupture in this report. Medical treatment is advocated as first line, while surgical treatment may be necessary in some cases. In the case surgery is inevitable, a conservative approach is preferable.
