Fluid17
Polyhydramnios is a medical condition describing an excess of amniotic fluid in the amniotic sac. (wikipedia.org)
There are two clinical varieties of polyhydramnios: chronic polyhydramnios where excess amniotic fluid accumulates gradually, and acute polyhydramnios where excess amniotic fluid collects rapidly. (wikipedia.org)
Polyhydramnios can occur if the baby does not swallow and absorb amniotic fluid in normal amounts. (medlineplus.gov)
Polyhydramnios also may occur if too much fluid is produced. (medlineplus.gov)
Severe polyhydramnios may be treated with medicine or by having extra fluid removed. (medlineplus.gov)
An abnormally high level of amniotic fluid, polyhydramnios, alerts the clinician to possible fetal anomalies. (medscape.com)
Fetal swallowing, which occurs physiologically, reduces the amount of fluid, and an absence of swallowing or a blockage of the fetus's gastrointestinal tract can lead to polyhydramnios. (medscape.com)
Two hundred and eight (7.8%) women with polyhydramnios formed the study group, and 2440 women with normal amniotic fluid formed the control. (elsevierpure.com)
Most cases of polyhydramnios, if timely diagnosed, are easily treated with medication to decrease amniotic fluid, or by amnioreduction. (bottarleone.com)

Conversely, the recipient twin grows well but the increased blood flow leads to high blood pressure that causes heart strain and high levels of amniotic fluid (polyhydramnios). (luriechildrens.org)
Too much fluid in the amniotic sac ( polyhydramnios ) may be seen during a prenatal ultrasound. (clevelandclinic.org)
We also use the presence of polyhydramnios (too much amniotic fluid) and elevated fetal cardiac output on fetal echocardiography. (connecticutchildrens.org)
Hydrops1

Severe5
In the mother, the physician may observe increased abdominal size out of proportion for her weight gain and gestation age, uterine size that outpaces gestational age, shiny skin with stria (seen mostly in severe polyhydramnios), dyspnea, and chest heaviness. (wikipedia.org)
Some women, especially when polyhydramnios is severe and causes uterine distention, have difficulty breathing and/or painful preterm contractions. (msdmanuals.com)
In the test group, DVP cutoffs correlating with AFI ≥ 30 cm which was used to define moderate-severe polyhydramnios were calculated in two ways, rounded to the nearest whole number 1) a receiver operating curve and Youden's J statistic (DVP-Youden) and 2) calculation of the DVP percentile that corresponded with AFI of 30 cm (DVP-Percentile). (bvsalud.org)
Moderate-severe polyhydramnios occurred in 286 (1.2%) in test group and 571 (1.2%) in validation group. (bvsalud.org)
The calculated cutoff for moderate-severe polyhydramnios was 8 cm for DVP-Youden. (bvsalud.org)
