Diagram, Pathophysiology

This document discusses various causes of cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD), a mismatch between the fetal head size and the mother's pelvis that can obstruct normal labor and delivery. CPD can be caused by increased fetal size due to hereditary factors or a diabetic mother, fetal malpositioning or abnormal pelvis shape from conditions like tumors or childhood polio. Prior operations or infections can also cause scarring that narrows the birth canal.
