ABSTRACT
En caul delivery is defined as the fetus which is delivered completely within an amniotic sac. It is very less common with an average of 1 in 70000 live births. Vaginal en caul delivery is considered to be rarest type when compared with cesarean. We present here a case report of 2 gravida delivering a neonate male en caul vaginally at the extremely preterm gestational age of 26 weeks. The neonate did not cry immediately. It was floppy with no spontaneous respiratory effort, hence intubated and regained spontaneous effort with pick up of heart rate. Owing to very preterm, appropriate for Gestational Age, Respiratory Distress Syndrome-Neonatal Depression and Early Onset Neonatal Sepsis, the baby was pronounced dead 9 days after delivery.
