H Miklaw, and M Miklaw-Reissmann

Report on a 33 year old gravida 3 para 2 which was referred at 24 weeks gestation by ultra-sound with an intra-uterine device in place. The patient was referred for therapeutic abortion ab 10 weeks gestation by dates. Since the pregnancy was in fact 24 weeks the risks were explained to the mother and continuation of the pregnancy recommended. At approximately 36 weeks gestation a healthy make infant 2600 grams was delivered by double footling breech spontaneous delivery. A cavernous hemangioma of the right knee was probably not due to the intra-uterine device but an incidental occurance. The Copper-T intra-uterine device was removed under general anesthesia fourteen weeks following delivery.
