The Authors studied breech presentation rate occurred in the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynecology of University of Parma during 1983. Perinatal morbidity and mortality occurred after vaginal delivery was also compared with those occurred after both emergency and elective cesarean section. Breech presentation delivery vaginally in 12,91% and by cesarean section in 87,09%. Only one case of perinatal death occurred in 1983 and it was not related to breech presentation. Breech delivery showed the 31,18% of neonatal morbidity with an higher rate in case of vaginal delivery (66,66%). In conclusion the Author's opinion is that vaginal breech delivery should be explained in a few cases according to all possible hazards.
