Nägele's obliquity is the presentation of the anterior parietal bone to the birth canal during vaginal delivery with the biparietal diameter being oblique to the brim of the pelvis.[1] The synonym for this presentation is anterior asynclitism.[2] It was first described in 1777 by German Karl Nägele.[3][4]
