Abstract

Presentation of Case A nine-year-old girl was admitted to the hospital because of congenital heart disease. She was born of the fifth pregnancy of a mother aged 33 years. At two months of gestation rupture of the spleen occurred after minor abdominal trauma, and the mother underwent splenectomy under spinal anesthesia at another hospital. A postoperative wound infection was treated with unknown antibiotics over an interval of several weeks. Vaginal delivery of a breech presentation was induced two weeks early. There was a transient decrease in the fetal heart rate during delivery, but the child cried spontaneously and appeared active.
