Neonates born with HI have generally poor prognosis. In this case report, a case of harlequin delivered at the 37th gestational week was presented.

Spontaneous second degree tears cause less perineal pain than episiotomies [ 4 ]. The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis whether the type of episiotomy (median versus mediolateral) can affect the degree of perineal pain and female sexual function over two years postdelivery or not.
