Ekstracapsulære

Ekstracapsulære refers to a condition in which a fetus is born with its head outside the amniotic sac, but still inside the uterus. This is a rare occurrence, with an estimated incidence of about 1 in 10,000 births. The condition is typically diagnosed during the second trimester of pregnancy through ultrasound. The amniotic sac is a fluid-filled membrane that surrounds and protects the fetus. In ekstracapsulære, the fetus is not fully enclosed within this sac, which can lead to complications such as infection, dehydration, and potential fetal distress.

The exact cause of ekstracapsulære is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to abnormalities in the development of the amniotic sac. The condition can sometimes be associated with other congenital anomalies. Treatment options are limited and often involve close monitoring of the fetus's condition, as well as supportive care to manage any complications that may arise. In some cases, delivery may be necessary to ensure the safety of both the mother and the fetus.

Postnatally, infants born ekstracapsulære may require additional medical care to address any complications that may have arisen during pregnancy or delivery. Regular follow-up with healthcare providers is important to monitor the infant's overall health and development.
