To report an unusual case of birth injury caused by an internal fetal monitoring spiral electrode.
Case report.
A neonate with eyelid lacerations was examined within the first hour of life after a fetal scalp electrode was inadvertently affixed to the left upper eyelid during labor. The superficial lacerations healed without sequelae, and there was no globe injury.
Ocular adnexal birth injury by a fetal monitoring scalp electrode has been reported rarely. Because fetal brow malpresentation is uncommon, the occurrence of this injury is unusual. Although alarming, the periorbital edema associated with this malpresentation probably protects the eyelid from perforation and the globe from injury.
报告一例由胎儿内部监护螺旋电极导致的罕见产伤病例。
病例报告。
一名新生儿出生后1小时内接受检查,其左上眼睑在分娩期间被意外贴上胎儿头皮电极,导致眼睑裂伤。表浅裂伤愈合后未留下后遗症,眼球未受损伤。
胎儿监护头皮电极导致眼附属器产伤的报道很少见。由于胎儿额先露不常见,这种损伤的发生也不寻常。尽管令人担忧,但与这种先露相关的眶周水肿可能保护了眼睑不被穿孔,眼球不受损伤。
