Obstetrics / Birth injury to the fetus

Congenital abnormality

Congenital abnormality resulting in developmental delay

Success story

Aditya was born in 2008 by emergency Caesarean section for fetal distress. She was in good condition at birth, but was later diagnosed with global developmental delay and other disabilities. PMS was instructed to review to assess whether there was any evidence of negligence in her obstetric management. PMS Expert Report concluded that Aditya's disabilities were probably the result of a gene delation. As there was no evidence of negligence in the obstetric care, the case was dropped.
