The practice of obstetrics, designed for the use of students and practitioners of medicine . Fig. 8i2.—Achondroplasic Dwarf.— (Depaul.) Fig. S13.—Dwarf Pelvis. on account of the peculiarities of the sacrum, which is not situated so anteriorlyas the normal, may be longer than usual. Another important measurementis that of the pelvic circumference, which is always much less than internal examination should be carefully made, especially the estimationof the transverse diameters. Prognosis.—Difficulty begins with the onset of labor and increases withits progress. The head is overflexed with a consequent prominence ofthe posterior fontanelle, while the sagittal suture lies commonly in an obliquediameter (Fig. 639).
