Objective To investigate the applied value of
abnormalities of
fetus with
oligohydramnios in mid-
pregnancy by anmioinfusion.
Methods Fifty
women with
oligohydramnios diagnosed by ultrasonograph were analysed retrospectively. During the
procedure 60-300 ml
saline solution at 37 ℃ were infused into the amniotic cavity,made
prenatal diagnosis at the same
time necessarily. And examined the
women to know whether the
fetal anomaly existed or not after the amnioinfusion by the ultrasound. Results There were 15 cases with
fetal anomaly, 8 cases with genitotirinary anomaly(2 cases associated with multiple organs anomaly), 1 case with
single umbilical artery, 4 cases with
chromosomal abnormality (2 cases associated with
fetal growth restriction), 2 cases with pulmonary hypolasia. There was no significant difference in dilivery outcome between others and 35 cases with normal
pregnant women (P >0.05). Conclusion Transabdominal amnioinfusion has double function on beth
diagnosis and
therapy for the
oligohydramnios in the mid-
pregnancy.
