macroscopic fetus

German translation: Fetopathie, diabetischer foetus?

Medical / ostetrics
English term or phrase: macroscopic fetus
"suspected macroscopic fetus" as a suspected condition under history of symptoms.
I can only find one reference in English with this and I fear that this has a more specific meaning than just "makroskopischer Fetus"??

Explanation:
http://www.obgyn.net/pb/articles/dystocia-casereport.htm

Slow progress during the first stage of labour and prolonged second stage has been reported as strongly associated with shoulder dystocia, as has the resultant need for labour augmentation. These associations tend to be much stronger with increasing fetal weight, (Baskett & Allen, 1995). It can be seen quite clearly from the history that is what had happened in the case of Mrs AN. It is possible that delayed labour or abnormalities of labour indicate a ‘protective’ mechanism against fetopelvic disproportion. If this is the case then augmentation and induction are probably not factors contributing to the dystocia but simply indicate that there is an underlying problem. It is similarly difficult to envisage a mechanism by which epidural anaesthesia would cause impaction of the shoulders at the pelvic brim. An increased need for analgesia may conceivably result from prolonged labour and increased activity by a uterus trying to overcome resistance to the passage *** of a macroscopic fetus***, (Sturdee et al, 2001).

There are many fetopathic conditions, see also Roche Lexikon under "Fetopathia":

fetale makrosomie


Explanation:
????? Vielleicht ein Typo?

Ein makroskopischer Fetus wäre ja nichts anderes als ein mit bloßem Auge sichtbarer Fetus.

Für die fetale Makrosomie (Riesenwuchs) (z.B. bei Diabeteserkrankung der Mutter) gibt es -zig Googlehits.
