. An American text-book of obstetrics. For practitioners and students. were of equal length (Klin. Vortrage ueberGeburtshiilfe, Berlin, 1853). DYSTOCIA. 511 inherited and congenital. It has been found by Fehling in a number of fetusesand new-born infants. Diagnosis.—The simple flat pelvis is easily overlooked. There is nothingin the patients appearance or history to suggest the deformity, unless she hashad difficulty in previous labors. The characteristic signs are the diminishedantero-posterior diameter, determined by internal and external measurements,and a transverse diameter as great as, or greater than, normal, or perhaps atrifle under the normal measurement. This last point is determined by meas-urements externally and by the internal palpation of the pelvic canal. Inmeasuring the conjugate diameter of this pelvis one must take into accountthe lessened inclination of the sym-physis outward, its height, some-what below the normal, and the lowposition of the promontory. Usuallythe average sum of If centimeters isa sufficient amount to subtract from.
