Asynclitic birth
An asynclitic birth refers to the position of a baby in the uterus such that the head is tilted to the side[1]. Most asynclitism corrects spontaneously in the progess of normal labor. Persistence of asynclitism is usually a signal of other problems with dysctocia (abnormal labor).
Other abnormal birth positions include breech birth, posterior presentation, anterior presentation, and transverse presentation.
