Baby died from head injuries after caesarean

A BABY girl was born with head injuries due to complications of her delivery at a Dublin maternity hospital, an inquest has heard.

Baby Isabelle McDonagh of Dun Emer Avenue, Lusk, Co Dublin, was pronounced dead at the Rotunda Hospital on August 21, 2009, following her birth by caesarean section the previous day.

An inquest heard yesterday that during the c-section on August 20 the baby’s skull was found to be deep in the pelvis and there was difficulty in accessing and dislodging the head.
