..., congenital hypothyroidism. Fetal goiter is often associated with a retroflexed neck and polyhydramnios, raising concerns regarding airway obstruction in such cases. Prior reports have advocated for cordocentesis and intra-amniotic thyroid hormone therapy in order to confirm the diagnosis of fetal thyroid...

... cases with and without ascites were 93 and 11%, respectively. Fetal ascites, progression of fetal hydrops, and premature delivery at <33 weeks were significant risk factors for a poor prognosis. Progression of polyhydramnios after shunting was also associated with a poor prognosis. Obstruction...

... around the mesenteric artery or its branches. The potential consequences of volvulus are ileus and necrosis of the intestinal wall. Prenatal diagnosis of midgut volvulus is difficult. It should be suspected antenatally when polyhydramnios, intestinal dilatation, ascites and/or signs of fetal anemia...

... before 15 years. The authors report a case of prenatal diagnosis of congenital mesoblastic nephroma revealed by an acute polyhydramnios at 33 weeks of pregnancy. After a preterm labor, the patient delivered at 35 weeks. The newborn underwent a radical nephrectomy. No recurrence was noticed at 10 months...

...Y. Ville; I. Sideris; K.H. Nicolaides Severe twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome presenting before 28 weeks’ gestation is associated with a high neonatal mortality and morbidity due to polyhydramnios-related very premature delivery or intrauterine death of one or both twins. Management options...

... woman was treated with indomethacin at 27 weeks of gestation for preterm labor and polyhydramnios. She received a dose of 75 mg/day for 5 weeks. At 35 weeks of gestation, she had a cesarean delivery due to fetal distress, and a hydropic baby was delivered. The infant died shortly after. Nonimmune...

...N.J. Saunders; R.J.M. Snijders; K.H. Nicolaides In four twin pregnancies presenting with acute 2nd-trimester polyhydramnios due to presumed twin-twin transfusion syndrome, the fetal hemoglobin concentration was measured in samples obtained by cordocentesis. In no instance did the twin pair...

The following pathophysiological mechanism for explaining polyhydramnios in recipient twins is proposed: chronic overload in recipient twins causes enhanced release of ANF...

In order to investigate the relationship between fetal condition and raised amniotic pressure (AP), fetal blood gas and acid-base status...

... for singletons. In three twin pregnancies at 21–24 weeks of gestation with acute polyhydramnios, presumed to be due to the twin-twin transfusion syndrome, the urine output of the smaller fetus was zero and that of the larger was above the 95th centile for normal singleton pregnancies. These three pregnancies...

Aldosterone levels of both amniotic fluid and the mother’s blood were found to be increased at 27 weeks of gestation, while electrolyte levels did...
