The usual etiological factors are found: malformations of the uterus, obstetrical maneuvers, mechanical dystocias, use of oxytocics, scars of caesarean section. The clinical characteristics are those previously described. There were two maternal deaths and 17 fetal deaths. These figures emphasize the progress accomplished and to come.
