Caesarean section for breech presentation has been suggested as a way of reducing the associated perinatal problems in many countries. Aims and Objectives: The present study was contemplated to study various aspects of delivery in breech presentation and to compare perinatal outcome. Methodology: This cross sectional study was conducted in department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Associated G.M. Hospital, Rewa (M.P) studying breech from the aspect of incidence, etiology, types along with assessment of various factors acting on maternal and perinatal outcome and mode of delivery using General, systemic and Ultrasound examination. Ethical issue: Written informed consent from the participating subjects. Result and Conclusion: The present study confirms association of breech with multiparity, the increased incidence of primary complications in breech and the increased perinatal mortality and morbidity of breech presentation.
