Multicenter Study Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical Trial[Clinical importance of fetal pulse oximetry. I. Methodological evaluation. Multicenter study. French Study Group on Oximetry of Fetal Pulse].
To evaluate the feasibility of intrapartum fetal pulse oximetry, the distribution of fetal oxygen saturation values, and the relation with the neonatal outcome in a population with an abnormal fetal heart rate (FHR). ⋯ The feasibility of fetal pulse oximetry is satisfactory in clinical practice. It is easy to use and provides a fair rate of recorded values, even in a population with suspicion of fetal distress. A low fetal oxygen saturation is significantly associated with an abnormal neonatal outcome.

Review Case Reports[Vertebral hemangioma symptomatic during pregnancy. A case report and review of the literature].
Vertebral hemangioma is a relatively frequent but rarely symptomatic tumor. Physiologic changes during pregnancy may lead to spinal cord compression due to tumor expansion. We report a case of vertebral hemangioma during pregnancy: a 28-year-old woman, third trimester, third gestation, consulted for paraplegia of rapid onset; Magnetic resonance imaging showed a lesion of the 9th thoracic vertebra; a cesarean section was done, followed by laminectomy with partial symptom relief; pathology showed a benign vertebral hemangioma and treatment was completed with radiotherapy.
