Oligohydramnios
Polyhydramnios
A condition of abnormally high AMNIOTIC FLUID volume, such as greater than 2,000 ml in the LAST TRIMESTER and usually diagnosed by ultrasonographic criteria (AMNIOTIC FLUID INDEX). It is associated with maternal DIABETES MELLITUS; MULTIPLE PREGNANCY; CHROMOSOMAL DISORDERS; and congenital abnormalities.
Amniotic Fluid
A clear, yellowish liquid that envelopes the FETUS inside the sac of AMNION. In the first trimester, it is likely a transudate of maternal or fetal plasma. In the second trimester, amniotic fluid derives primarily from fetal lung and kidney. Cells or substances in this fluid can be removed for prenatal diagnostic tests (AMNIOCENTESIS).

Fetal acalvaria with amniotic band syndrome. (1/29)
A case of amniotic band syndrome (ABS) presenting with acalvaria is reported. ABS includes a spectrum of non-genetic anomalies, varying from simple digital band constriction to major craniofacial and visceral defects, and even fetal death. Acalvaria is a rare congenital malformation characterised by the absence of the dome-like superior portion of the cranium comprising the frontal, parietal, and occipital bones and dura mater, in the presence of a normal skull base and facial bones with complete cranial contents. No two cases are the same. Acrania or absence of the flat skull bones with disorganised cerebral hemispheres have been reported in the presence of amniotic bands. ABS is an aetiological factor in acalvaria. Appropriate counselling for affected families needs to be given after prenatal diagnosis. (+info)Intrauterine sling: a complication of the stuck twin syndrome. (2/29)
Stuck twin syndrome usually presents with polyhydramnios in the recipient sac and severe oligohydramnios in the donor sac. The donor is displaced against the uterine wall and remains adherent in that position. We present a case in which the diagnosis was more complicated, owing to the suspension of the stuck twin by a sling within the sac of the recipient. A monochorionic diamnionic twin gestation was complicated by twin-twin transfusion syndrome at 18 weeks of gestation. In our example, the stuck twin was suspended by a sling from the placenta. The sling band represented the intertwin membrane that was folded upon itself. Amniotic fluid from the recipient twin was present in three dimensions around the stuck twin, except for the sling band. The suspension of the stuck twin by a sling within the amniotic fluid of the recipient is an unusual manifestation of the stuck twin syndrome. (+info)Constriction band of the arm following insertion of a pleuro-amniotic shunt. (3/29)
In a 23-week fetus with a large left-sided pleural effusion a double pigtail pleuro-amniotic shunt was inserted uneventfully. A healthy infant was delivered at 38 weeks' gestation. One end of the shunt was in the thoracic cavity but the other end was found wrapped around the upper arm resulting in a constriction band. There was no impairment of the vascular supply to the limb or in its motor or sensory function and by 6 months of age there was only a faint ring still apparent around the upper arm. (+info)Combined cuboid/cuneiform osteotomy for correction of residual adductus deformity in idiopathic and secondary club feet. (4/29)
We used a combined cuboid/cuneiform osteotomy to treat residual adductus deformity in idiopathic and secondary club feet. The mean follow-up for 27 feet (22 idiopathic, four arthrogrypotic and one related to amniotic band syndrome) was 5.0 years (2.0 to 9.8). All healed uneventfully except for one early wound infection. No further surgery was required in the 22 idiopathic club feet but four of five with secondary deformity needed further surgery. At follow-up all patients with idiopathic and two with secondary club feet were free from pain and satisfied with the result. In the idiopathic feet, adductus of the forefoot, as measured by the calcaneal second metatarsal angle, improved on average from 20.7 +/- 2.0 degrees to 8.9 +/- 1.8 degrees (p < 0.05). In four feet, with a follow-up of more than six years, there was complete recurrence of the deformity. In the secondary club feet, there was no improvement of the adductus. We conclude that in most, but not all, idiopathic club feet a cuboid/cuneiform osteotomy can provide satisfactory correction of adductus deformity. Those with secondary deformity require other procedures. (+info)A malformed fetus in a rudimentary uterine horn pregnancy. (5/29)
We present a case of a 13-week pregnancy with a malformed fetus in a ruptured, non-communicating rudimentary horn. The patient, a 21-year-old woman with pelvic and right-sided abdominal pain, was admitted to the gynecology clinic of our institution. A ruptured rudimentary horn pregnancy was diagnosed by ultrasonography. The fetus in the gestation sac showed evisceration of the liver and intestines and an absent left femur. There was an amniotic band extending across the body of the fetus. The ruptured horn was excised by laparotomy. The factors associated with rudimentary horn pregnancy and related fetal abnormalities are discussed. (+info)Spontaneous resolution of amniotic bands. (6/29)
The amniotic band syndrome comprises a group of sporadic congenital anomalies characterized by amputations, constriction bands, pseudosyndactylism and multiple craniofacial, visceral and body wall defects. It occurs in approximately 1 in 1200 to 1 in 15 000 live births. Some of the cases present with congenital anomalies that are incompatible with life, but a selected group shows isolated limb constrictions. Repeated sonographic examinations afforded us the opportunity of observing the in utero process of limb strangulation and subsequent spontaneous lysis of an amniotic band attached to a fetal elbow. Surgical fetal therapy with lysis of the constriction ring in utero is an option, but intervention is probably not always warranted. Spontaneous resolution does occur. (+info)Prenatal sonographic diagnosis of focal musculoskeletal anomalies. (7/29)
Focal musculoskeletal anomalies vary, and can manifest as part of a syndrome or be accompanied by numerous other conditions such as genetic disorders, karyotype abnormalities, central nervous system anomalies and other skeletal anomalies. Isolated focal musculoskeletal anomaly does, however, also occur; its early prenatal diagnosis is important in deciding prenatal care, and also helps in counseling parents about the postnatal effects of numerous possible associated anomalies. We have encountered 50 cases involving focal musculoskeletal anomalies, including focal limb dysplasia [radial ray abnormality (n=3), mesomelic dysplasia (n=1)]; anomalies of the hand [polydactyly (n=8), syndactyly (n=3), ectrodactyly (n=1), clinodactyly (n=6), clenched hand (n=5)]; anomalies of the foot [clubfoot (n=10), rockerbottom foot (n=5), sandal gap deformity (n=1), curly toe (n=2)]; amniotic band syndrome (n=3); and anomalies of the focal spine [block vertebra (n=1), hemivertebra (n=1)]. Among these 50 cases, five [polydactyly (n=1), syndactyly (n=2) and curly toe (n=2)] were confirmed by postnatal physical evaluation, two (focal spine anomalies) were diagnosed after postnatal radiologic examination, and the remaining 43 were proven at autopsy. For each condition, we describe the prenatal sonographic findings, and include a brief review. (+info)A case of amniotic band syndrome with bilateral epibulbar choristoma. (8/29)
An autopsy case of amniotic band syndrome with bilateral epibulbar choristoma is described. The left eye reveals a complex choristoma and the right eye a dermis-like choristoma. Both choristomatous lesions included lenticular tissue suggesting that rupture of the amnion, which is the initial event of amniotic band syndrome, might have occurred at about the fourth week of gestation. Since the other systemic manifestations of amniotic band syndrome are considered to be compression deformities of the fetus caused by oligohydramnios or amniotic band, the occurrence of epibulbar choristomas in both eyes in this case suggests that a compression mechanism may play a role in the pathogenesis of epibulbar choristoma. (+info) Amniotic Band Syndrome is a congenital disorder that occurs when a fetus becomes entangled in one or more bands of amniotic membrane, which can cause a range of physical abnormalities and developmental delays. The condition is also known as Amniotic Band Sequence or Congenital Amniotic Band Syndrome.
The symptoms of Amniotic Band Syndrome can vary depending on the severity of the entanglement and the location of the bands on the body. Common physical abnormalities include:
* Limb defects, such as clubfoot, missing digits, or webbed fingers and toes
* Skin bridges or flaps
* Craniofacial abnormalities, such as cleft lip or palate
* Gastrointestinal malformations, such as intestinal atresia or stenosis
* Heart defects, such as ventricular septal defect
* Urinary tract abnormalities, such as bladder exstrophy or hypospadias
The cause of Amniotic Band Syndrome is not well understood, but it is thought to occur when the amniotic membrane ruptures and the fetus becomes entangled in the resulting bands. The condition can be diagnosed during pregnancy through ultrasound examination, and after birth through physical examination and imaging studies.
There is no standard treatment for Amniotic Band Syndrome, as the severity of the condition and the specific abnormalities present vary widely from case to case. Treatment may include surgery to correct physical abnormalities, as well as supportive care to manage developmental delays and other complications. The prognosis for children with Amniotic Band Syndrome varies depending on the severity of the condition and the specific abnormalities present, but in general, the condition can have a significant impact on the child's quality of life and long-term outlook.
Iliotibial (IT) band syndrome is a common overuse injury that occurs when the IT band, a thick band of tissue that runs from the hip down to the knee, becomes inflamed and irritated. The IT band helps stabilize and support the knee joint, but repetitive motion and friction can cause it to become inflamed and painful.
Symptoms of IT band syndrome may include:
* Pain on the outside of the knee, often worsening with activity or bending
* Swelling and redness in the affected area
* Stiffness and limited mobility in the knee
* Clicking or snapping sensation in the knee as the IT band slides over the bone
IT band syndrome is often caused by excessive running, cycling, or other activities that involve repetitive motion of the knee. Poor biomechanics, such as overpronation or supination, can also contribute to the development of IT band syndrome. Treatment typically involves rest and physical therapy to address any underlying biomechanical issues. Bracing and anti-inflammatory medications may also be used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to release the IT band and alleviate tension.
Prevention is key in avoiding IT band syndrome. Gradually increasing activity levels and incorporating strengthening exercises for the gluteal muscles can help stabilize the knee joint and reduce the risk of developing IT band syndrome. Proper warm-up and cool-down procedures, as well as wearing appropriate footwear and using proper biomechanics during activity, can also help prevent this condition.
Oligohydramnios refers to a condition where there is a decrease in the amount of amniotic fluid that surrounds a developing fetus during pregnancy. The term "oligo" means few or little, and "hydramnios" refers to the amniotic fluid. In oligohydramnios, the volume of amniotic fluid is lower than normal, which can have negative effects on fetal development and growth.
Causes:
There are several possible causes of oligohydramnios, including:
1. Premature rupture of membranes (PROM): This is when the amniotic sac that surrounds the fetus bursts early, before 37 weeks of gestation.
2. Preterm labor: When a woman goes into labor before 37 weeks of gestation, the amount of amniotic fluid may decrease.
3. Uteroplacental blood flow abnormalities: These can occur when there are problems with the placenta or the uterus that affect the flow of blood and oxygen to the fetus.
4. Maternal diabetes: Diabetes in the mother can cause a decrease in amniotic fluid.
5. Infections: Certain infections, such as group B streptococcus, can cause a decrease in amniotic fluid.
6. Kidney or urinary tract problems in the mother: These can affect the amount of amniotic fluid produced.
7. Multiple gestations (twins, triplets): The amount of amniotic fluid may be lower in multiple pregnancies.
8. Abnormal fetal development: In some cases, a chromosomal abnormality or other fetal problem can cause a decrease in amniotic fluid.
Symptoms:
Women with oligohydramnios may experience few or no symptoms at all. However, some women may notice:
1. Decreased fetal movement: With less amniotic fluid, the fetus may not be able to move as much, making it feel less active or even still.
2. Abnormal fetal positioning: The fetus may not be able to move into a normal position for delivery, which can make the delivery more difficult.
3. Increased risk of umbilical cord compression: If the umbilical cord is compressed by the placenta or other tissues, it can cause a decrease in blood flow to the fetus, leading to distress and potentially even stillbirth.
4. Preterm labor: Women with oligohydramnios may be at increased risk of going into preterm labor.
Treatment and Management:
There is no specific treatment for oligohydramnios. However, the condition is often monitored closely during pregnancy to ensure that the fetus is healthy and growing properly. The following steps may be taken to manage oligohydramnios:
1. Close monitoring: Regular ultrasound examinations are used to check the amount of amniotic fluid and fetal growth.
2. Fetal movement monitoring: The fetus's movements may be monitored to ensure that it is still active and healthy.
3. Increased prenatal care: Women with oligohydramnios may require more frequent prenatal appointments to monitor the condition and ensure that the fetus is healthy.
4. Hydration: Drinking plenty of water and other fluids can help to increase the amount of amniotic fluid.
5. Bed rest: In some cases, women with oligohydramnios may be advised to rest in bed to reduce the risk of preterm labor.
6. Medications: In severe cases, medications such as corticosteroids may be prescribed to help mature the fetal lungs and increase the chances of survival if the baby is born prematurely.
7. Induction of labor: If the condition persists or the fetus is not growing properly, induction of labor may be considered.
In conclusion, oligohydramnios can be a serious complication during pregnancy that can increase the risk of stillbirth and other complications. However, with close monitoring and appropriate management, the outcomes for both mother and baby can be improved. It is essential to work closely with a healthcare provider to monitor the condition and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
Polyhydramnios is a condition where there is an excessive amount of amniotic fluid surrounding a developing fetus during pregnancy. The normal amount of amniotic fluid is around 500-750 milliliters, but with polyhydramnios, the amount can be over 1 liter. This condition can occur at any point during pregnancy, but it is more common in the second and third trimesters.
Causes of Polyhydramnios:
There are several possible causes of polyhydramnios, including:
1. Chromosomal abnormalities: Genetic disorders such as Down syndrome can cause an excessive amount of amniotic fluid.
2. Maternal diabetes: Diabetes in the mother can cause an imbalance in the placenta and lead to polyhydramnios.
3. Previous stillbirth: Women who have had a previous stillbirth are at higher risk for developing polyhydramnios in subsequent pregnancies.
4. Fetal anomalies: Abnormalities in the fetus, such as heart or spinal cord defects, can cause an accumulation of amniotic fluid.
5. Maternal hypertension: High blood pressure in the mother can lead to polyhydramnios.
6. Preeclampsia: This is a condition that causes high blood pressure and damage to organs such as the liver and kidneys.
7. Urinary tract infections: Infections in the urinary tract can cause an excessive amount of amniotic fluid.
8. Maternal obesity: Obese women are at higher risk for developing polyhydramnios due to their increased body mass index (BMI).
Symptoms of Polyhydramnios:
Polyhydramnios can cause a range of symptoms, including:
1. Enlarged uterus: The uterus may become enlarged due to the excessive amount of amniotic fluid.
2. Abdominal pain: Women with polyhydramnios may experience abdominal pain and discomfort.
3. Increased urination: Drinking more water may be necessary to accommodate the excessive amount of amniotic fluid.
4. Pressure on the bladder: The excessive fluid can put pressure on the bladder, leading to frequent urination and discomfort.
5. Difficulty breathing: In severe cases, the excessive fluid can put pressure on the lungs, making it difficult to breathe.
6. Premature labor: Polyhydramnios can increase the risk of premature labor.
7. Preterm rupture of membranes (PROM): The amniotic sac may rupture before 37 weeks of gestation, leading to preterm labor and delivery.
8. Fetal distress: The excessive fluid can cause fetal distress, which can lead to complications during delivery.
Treatment of Polyhydramnios:
Treatment for polyhydramnios depends on the underlying cause and the severity of the condition. Some possible treatments include:
1. Bed rest or hospitalization: Women with polyhydramnios may be advised to rest in bed or be hospitalized to monitor the condition and prevent complications.
2. Diuretics: Medications that increase urine production can help reduce the amount of amniotic fluid.
3. Amnioreduction: A procedure in which a needle is inserted into the uterus to remove excess amniotic fluid.
4. Induction of labor: In severe cases, labor may be induced to prevent complications.
5. Cesarean section: If the condition is not resolved with other treatments, a cesarean section may be necessary to deliver the baby safely.
In conclusion, polyhydramnios is a condition characterized by an excessive amount of amniotic fluid during pregnancy. It can cause discomfort, difficulty breathing, and increase the risk of complications such as premature labor and preterm rupture of membranes. Treatment options include bed rest, diuretics, amnioreduction, induction of labor, and cesarean section. If you suspect you have polyhydramnios, it is essential to consult with your healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Fetal diseases refer to medical conditions that affect the developing fetus during pregnancy. These conditions can be caused by genetic mutations, environmental factors, or a combination of both. Fetal diseases can have a significant impact on the health and well-being of the baby, and some may require specialized medical care and treatment.
Examples of fetal diseases include:
1. Down syndrome: A genetic disorder caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21, which can cause delays in physical and intellectual development, as well as increased risk of heart defects and other health problems.
2. Spina bifida: A birth defect that affects the development of the spine and brain, resulting in a range of symptoms from mild to severe.
3. Cystic fibrosis: A genetic disorder that affects the respiratory and digestive systems, causing thick mucus buildup and recurring lung infections.
4. Anencephaly: A condition where a portion of the brain and skull are missing, which is usually fatal within a few days or weeks of birth.
5. Clubfoot: A deformity of the foot and ankle that can be treated with casts or surgery.
6. Hirschsprung's disease: A condition where the nerve cells that control bowel movements are missing, leading to constipation and other symptoms.
7. Diaphragmatic hernia: A birth defect that occurs when there is a hole in the diaphragm, allowing organs from the abdomen to move into the chest cavity.
8. Gastroschisis: A birth defect where the intestines protrude through a opening in the abdominal wall.
9. Congenital heart disease: Heart defects that are present at birth, such as holes in the heart or narrowed blood vessels.
10. Neural tube defects: Defects that affect the brain and spine, such as spina bifida and anencephaly.
Early detection and diagnosis of fetal diseases can be crucial for ensuring proper medical care and improving outcomes for affected babies. Prenatal testing, such as ultrasound and blood tests, can help identify fetal anomalies and genetic disorders during pregnancy.
