Abstract
BACKGROUND: Breech presentation is associated with increased risk. External cephalic version (ECV) has been successful in decreasing the incidence of intrapartum breech presentation. CASE: Funic presentation occurred as a complication of successful ECV. CONCLUSION: The widespread use of version calls for increased surveillance for adverse sequelae. At the completion of ECV, ultrasound analysis, pelvic examination and fetal heart rate monitoring are appropriate to exclude ser ious cord complications.
