الملخص

Background: There is a growing awareness of the significance of fetal death. This parental crisis not only involves the actual death of the fetus, but also shatters dreams and hopes for the future.

Objective: To determine incidence & causes of intrauterine fetal death (IUFD).

Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis of vital records. A detailed information from patients' files including gestational age and causes of intrauterine fetal death. This study was conducted in Sebha Medical Center from 1st October 2008 to the 31st March 2009. The total deliveries were 3720 out of which 78 cases were intrauterine fetal death.

Results: The incidence of IUFD is 2.09 %, less than 30% (29.49%) of cases the etiology of anteparum fetal death is not known, abruption placenta 19.24% & Pregnancy induced hypertension 15.38%. About 30.77% of the cases were primigravida. About 66 of IUFD (84.62%) were successfully vaginally delivered by induction of labor.

Conclusion: unexplained causes, Apraptio placenta, and PIH were the most common causes of IUFD. Most cases of IUFD were delivered vaginally with good response to induction of labor
