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...

The levels of the maternal serum markers alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), and unconjugated oestriol (uE3) in 35 pregnant women with early second-trimester oligohydramnios differed from those in a reference population of 1699 singleton pregnancies. Maternal serum AFP levels above the 95th centile of the population distribution were observed in 80 per cent (16/20) of ...

The amniotic fluid volume (AFV) is regulated by several systems, including the in-tramembranous pathway, fetal production (fetal urine and lung fluid) and uptake (fetal swallowing), and the balance of fluid movement via osmotic gradients. The normal AFV across gestation has not been clearly defined; consequently, abnormal volumes are also poorly defined. Actual AFVs can be measured by dye dilut...

AIMS To investigate the relationship between fetal renal artery Doppler results and pregnancy outcomes in patients with idiopathic abnormal amniotic fluid indices. MATERIAL AND METHOD A total of 110 patients without signs of fetal distress were included in the study: 31 idiopathic oligohydramnios and 29 idiopathic polyhydramnios pregnancies (study group) and 50 normal pregnancies (controls). ...

Background: Oligohydramnios has an incidence of around 1-5% total pregnancies. It is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes like preterm delivery, low birth weight, foetal distress, and passage meconium NICU admission. Aims objectives were to study the risk factors oligohydramnios in pregnancy evaluate outcome patients oligohydramnios. Methods: The present was a prospective observational si...

A case is presented of inadequate hospital care in a pregnant woman with fetal growth restriction (FGR) and oligohydramnios, which resulted in intrauterine fetal death with the cause of death concealed by the obstetrician.
