Oligohydramnios, defined as when the AFI is less than 5. Definition of increased or decreased amniotic fluid volume are based on sonographic criteria. Oligohydramnios complicates approximately 1 to 2% pregnancies Amniotic provides cushion effect against constricting confines gravid uterus. It creates space and helps in musculoskeletal development foetus, normal fetal lung prevents compression u...

BACKGROUND Severe early-onset fetal growth restriction occurs in 0.4 % of all pregnancies, and the prognoses of these patients are dismal. Severely growth-restricted fetuses (far below 500 g) are thought to be nonviable. Since there have not been effective treatments for such fetal patients, obstetricians have simply tried to identify the optimal timing for their delivery. There are a few repor...

Objective: This case was reported to highlight an alternative form of management for patients, including amnioinfusion as one of the tools in an uncommon setting. Methods: Transabdominal amnioinfusion was done in the patient at 24 weeks for severe oligohydramnios without PPROM. At 26 weeks she was found to be APLAS. Patient was also started on enoxaparin and low dose aspirin. Results: Pregnancy...

We studied four infants whose mothers had had leaks of amniotic fluid for varying periods before birth. Three were associated with compression deformities. Oxygenation was achieved only by overriding the pressure limit safety devices on the resuscitation apparatus and ventilating after birth with high inflation pressures. In all cases the ventilation pressures had to be further increased for 12...

abstract sirenomelia is a rare anomaly of caudal region of the body presented with fusion of lower limbs in which genito-urinary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and neural tube anomalies are found in most cases. we introduce a case of severe oligohydramnios, which had characteristic aspects of sirenomelia at the time of delivery and review the pertinent articles. all in all it is our aim to p...

The amniotic sac contains a protective liquid known as fluid. Two different types of fluid changes have been identified. first is oligohydramnios, and the second polyhydramnios. This study aimed to examine effect on pregnancy outcomes fetus. A cross-sectional was conducted by simple random sampling for, Four hundred fifty women from November 1st, 2021, until February28th 2022, in Duhok hospital...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com of this syndrome is estimated below 0.04 per 10.000 live born infants and 1.1 in 10.000 stillbirths [2]. It is mainly characterized by variable expressions of cryptophthalmos, syndactyly, abnormal genitalia, laryngeal malformations and urogenital defects [2-4]. Antenatally diagnosed cases had more manifestations result in a pathological amount of am...

Measuring amniotic fluid pockets with ultrasound is an efficient and reasonably reliable method of evaluating amniotic fluid volume and categorizing relative risk of perinatal morbidity. The most commonly used ultrasound criteria for oligohydramnios, SDP <2 cm and AFI <5 cm, assign approximately 2%-3% and 4%-5% of late preterm pregnancies into the "low amniotic fluid" category. The AFI offers s...
