Brow (frontal) malpresentation (BP) occurs when there is incomplete deflexion of the foetal head with an incidence of 0.07%. In BP, the frontal bone, nasal root and brow are palpable, but the chin and mouth cannot be palpated. Intrapartum management should be expectant with 50% of cases extending to an occiput presentation with successful vaginal delivery. In BP, a manual rotation is possible; a caesarean section is recommended in dystocia and persistent BP (Levy 1976; Verspyck et al. 2012). In our paper, a case series of seven term pregnancies without comorbidities with intrapartum diagnosed BP and bimanual rotation are presented as a non-caesarean intervention.
