The woman had good analgesia on the left side, but complained of severe labor pais on her right side. ⋯ Rupture of the left uterine wall, with a large hematoma in the left parametrium was seen at surgery.

Case ReportsMcRoberts maneuver for the management of the aftercoming head in breech delivery.
A case report of breech delivery complicated by entrapment of the aftercoming head is presented. McRoberts maneuver was applied to facilitate the release of the head. It is suggested that the same theoretical basis that stands behind the use of McRoberts maneuver in shoulder dystocia might make it applicable as one of the maneuvers to release the aftercoming head in breech delivery.
