Abstract

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.
