Successful External Cephalic Version in a Massively Obese Patient

FRANK A. CHERVENAK, MD and RICHARD L. BERKOWITZ, MD

From the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Yale University School of Medicine and Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, New York.

A massively obese patient (199 kg) presented at term with a fetus in the transverse lie. External cephalic version with sonographic guidance was successful, and subsequent vertex vaginal delivery occurred. External cephalic version in the massively obese gravid patient is a therapeutic possibility, and the dangers of cesarean section may be avoided using this procedure.
