[On the indication of cesarean section in moribunda (author's transl)]. / Zur Indikationsstellung der Sectio caesarea in moribunda.

ABSTRACT

A case of cesarean section in moribunda is reported. The patient died on spontaneous subarachnoid and cerebral hemorrhage due to an angioma arteriovenosum aneurysmaticum of the right arteria cerebri media. Medical problems and the indication for a section in such cases are discussed. In non letal maternal diseases a section in moribunda should be separated from a cesarean section in extremis.
