In Norway the nomenclature used for the various types of breech presentation differs. In this paper the authors describe the common types of breech presentation and the nomenclature used in the Norwegian textbooks in obstetrics. Using different nomenclature can lead to misinterpretation of the different types of breech presentation which could influence the choice method of delivery. The authors propose an unambiguousness Norwegian nomenclature for the most common types of breech presentation.
