• Any presentation other than the vertex can lead to difficulties in
labor
• These malpresentations may arise by chance or by maternal or fet
pathology
• Leading to increase mortality and morbidity to both mother and
baby
• This contributes to the death of one Nigerian woman every 13
minutes from preventable causes related to pregnancy and child
birth
• Which means 109 women die each day (Nigeria Health Watch, 20
