Description
Definition: This describes the Impaction of the anterior shoulder against the symphysis pubis after delivery of the fetal head.
Shoulder dystocia is said to have occurred when there is:
• Failure of the shoulders to rotate spontaneously into anterior, posterior diameter of the pelvis outlet after delivery of the head
• The anterior shoulder becomes trapped behind or on the symphysis pubis while the posterior shoulder may be in the hollow of the sacrum or high above the sacral promontory

Anatomy of head and neck
The head is the globular cranial end of the body, which contains brain and special sense organs, viz. eyes for vision, ears for hearing and equilibrium, nose for smell, and tongue for taste. It also provides openings for the respiratory and digestive systems. Structurally and developmentally, the head is divided into two parts: cranium and face.
