The authors emphasize the importance of performing an intrapartum ultrasonography in order to prevent maternal and neonatal complications but also physician legal liability. The main advantages of using this technique are: improvement of fetal head's malposition diagnosis; prevention of maternal and fetal complications of childbirth due to the use of forceps or vacuum extractor (VE); a more accurate planning of cesarean section; a proof of professional correctness
