Presentation Transcript

  1. Bony pelvis and fetal skull Dr Malleswar Rao K

  2. Objects • Fetal head • Pelvic anatomy • Pelvic shapes

  3. Passenger

  4. Fetal head • Landmarks • Sutures • Fontanelles • Diameters

  5. Fetal head From an obstetrical point of view it’s the most important part: • largest • least compressible part of the fetus. • most frequent presenting part

  6. Landmarks • Head is divided into 3areas • (1) the sinciput or brow portion; • (2) the vertex, or top of the head between the 2 fontanelles; • (3) Base large, ossified, firmly united, and noncompressible

  7. Sutures • Membrane-occupied spaces between the cranial bones 1-Sagittal suture: - lies btw the parietal bones -extends in an AP direction btw the fontanelles -divides the head into right and left sides

  8. 2-lambdoid suture: • extends from the posterior fontanelle laterally • separate the occipital from the parietal bones.

  9. 3-coronal suture: • extends from the anterior fontanelle laterally • separate the parietal and frontal bones.

  10. 4- frontal suture: • lies between the frontal bones • extends from the anterior fontanelle to the glabella (the prominence between the eyebrows).

  11. Clinical importance of sutures • Position of fontanelle & sagittal suture can identify attitude and position of vertex. • By plapating the sagittal suture during labour, degree of internal rotation & molding of the head can be noticed. • In deep transverse arrest, this sagittal suture lies transversely at the level of the ischial spines.

  12. Moulding… Reshaping of the fetal skull: Obliteration of the sutures. Overlapping of the bones of the vault: One parietal bone overlaps the other. Both overlap the occipital bone. It accounts for diminution of the biparietal diameter and suboccipitobregmatic diameters by 0.5-1 cm. 0r even more.

  13. A: Well flexed Head • B: Partially Flexed Head • C: Deflexed Head • D: Face Presentation • E: Brow presentation

  14. The anterior fontanelle (bregma) : • diamond shaped area(2 × 3 cm) of unossified membrane formed by the junction of 4 suture.

  15. The posterior fontanelle: • It is the triangular depressed area at the junction of 3 suture: • closes at 6 to 8 weeks of life • Y- or T-shaped
