  1. asynclitism

    Asynclitism is a term used in obstetrics to describe a fetal position during childbirth where the head of the baby is presenting at an angle to the birth canal. Specifically, it refers to a situation where the long axis of the baby's head is not parallel with the long axis of the mother's body. This can make delivery more difficult and potentially necessitates a cesarean section.
