Abstract
A patient with acute hydramnios and advanced preterm labor at 34 weeks was seen after gastroschisis had been diagnosed by second-trimester f etal ultrasonography. The fetus also had meconium peritonitis and acut e ascites. The distended abdomen did not decompress spontaneously duri ng the second stage of labor. Severe abdominal dystocia was resolved w ith the Zavanelli maneuver (cephalic replacement) and cesarean deliver y. This is the first reported use of the Zavanelli maneuver for abdomi nal dystocia.
