Article Abstract
Objective: To assess the antenatal and intra-partum risk factors associated with undiagnosed breech at term and to compare their outcome with those diagnosed before the onset of labor, as well as identifying the determinants for cesarean section in breech presentation.
Methods: Case control study of 183 undiagnosed breech deliveries at term with those diagnosed before labor.
Results: There was no significant difference between diagnosed term breech and undiagnosed breech deliveries with regards to maternal, neonatal outcome and incidence of cesarean section. Footling breech presentation, hypertension and failure to attend antenatal visits were independent risk factor for cesarean section in all case of breech.
Conclusion: Undiagnosed breech at term are not at increased risk for cesarean section and there is no additional maternal or fetal morbidity.

Mullerian duct anomalies are congenital abnormalities involving the female genital systems. A double uterus or uterine didelphys is one of the uterine duplication anomalies that result from impaired fusion with regard to the Mullerian ducts. The uterine didelphys can be diagnosed earlier in symptomatic patients.

Uterus didelphys is a congenital anomaly of the female reproductive tract which arises from the abnormal fusion of the Mullerian ducts. We present, the first case to the best of our knowledge, of uterus didelphys with a unicavitary twin gestation to be documented in Ghana, a low-middle income country. A 24-year-old woman, gravida 3, para 0+2 miscarriages, was seen and admitted to our maternity ward due to elevated blood pressure with ++ proteinuria at 36 weeks of gestation.

Objective: Uterine anomalies (UA) occur in up to 6.7% of women. Breech is eight times more likely to occur with UA which may not be diagnosed prior to pregnancy and may only be found in the third trimester with breech.

Article Synopsis
- Diagnosing placenta accreta spectrum without previa before delivery is challenging and may lead to hysterectomy; however, procedures exist to help preserve fertility in such cases.
- A 38-year-old woman, who had IVF, was diagnosed with placenta accreta only during childbirth, leading to significant complications during a cesarean section due to the placenta's abnormal attachment.
- The TURIP procedure was successfully performed to detach the placenta and control bleeding, allowing the patient to recover and conceive again through IVF the following year.
Impact of point-of-care ultrasound and routine third trimester ultrasound on undiagnosed breech presentation and perinatal outcomes: An observational multicentre cohort study.

Background: Accurate knowledge of fetal presentation at term is vital for optimal antenatal and intrapartum care. The primary objective was to compare the impact of routine third trimester ultrasound or point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) with standard antenatal care, on the incidence of overall and proportion of all term breech presentations that were undiagnosed at term, and on the related adverse perinatal outcomes.
Methods And Findings: This was a retrospective multicentre cohort study where we included data from St.
