A Rare Complication of a Vaginal Breech Delivery

الملخص EN

Rectal lesions without anal sphincter trauma in childbirth are only sporadically described in literature.

We describe the case of a 29-year-old primigravida who delivered a child in frank breech presentation.

During the second stage of labour a foot presented transanally through a rectal laceration with intact anal sphincters.

The laceration was repaired immediately after delivery in theatre.

Follow-up visits showed a properly cured laceration and no complaints of incontinence or foul discharge.
