Causes of birth injuries of the spinal cord of the fetus

Abstract

The birth of 449 children in maternity hospitals in Kazan was monitored. In 13 (2.9%) of them, neurological examination revealed signs of brain injury and in 140 (31.2%) - spinal cord injury. The possible pathogenesis of the birth trauma of the spinal cord of the fetus is considered. It was found that the frequency and severity of injury are directly dependent on the force applied by the obstetrician or midwife at the birth of the fetus.
