Extremely Post-term Infant with adverse outcome
P
ost-term infants are born at a gestational age >42 weeks or 294 days from the 1st day of the last menstrual period.
Post-term infants have higher rates of morbidity and mortality than term infants. Risk factors for post-term births
include the following: Prim gravida, prior post-term pregnancy, and genetic predisposition as a concordance for post-term
pregnancy is higher in monozygotic than dizygotic twin mothers, maternal obesity, older maternal age, and male fetal
gender. We are presenting a case of newborn infant delivered at post-term 47 weeks (post conception age) who was born
through thick meconium stained liquor delivery showed sever skin peeling. He needed respiratory ventilation since birth
and his brain magnetic resonance imaging was abnormal. This report aims to raise awareness among obstetric-gynecology
and neonatologists about complications of post maturity and to put a plan to deliver these babies before reaching 42 weeks
gestation.
