A singleton fetus is in a persistent transverse lie at term following an unsuccessful external cephalic version. In obstetrics, is this condition classified as an absolute or a relative indication for cesarean delivery?
Answer
Absolute indication
Explanation
The scenario matches the precise example in the absolute-indications list. It can also be described as fetal or fetomaternal in nature because presentation affects the possibility and safety of vaginal delivery. **Key takeaway:** Link the clinical finding to both the specific list and broad category. **Glossary:** **Transverse lie**: fetal orientation across the uterus.
