Fetal laceration injury during cesarean section and its long-term sequelae: a case report.

AbstractThis case report illustrates the cosmetic outcome of a scalpel-related laceration injury sustained to a newborn infant that occurred during the course of an elective cesarean section for breech presentation. This buttock laceration was noted to be 2 cm in length at the time of birth. Twelve years later, the same scar had migrated in a cephalad direction and had increased to 10 cm in length.
