Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Objectives: To diagnose polyhydramnios ultrasonically and their relationship with perinatal outcome and also to find out the cause and to detect any foetal congenital anomaly. Methods: The study group consisted of 100 pregnancies with poly-hydramnios as diagnosed by ultrasound during the period of 1 year January 2013 to December 2013. Polyhydramnios is diagnosed by ultrasound when AFI is more than the 95th percentile for the gestational age. Results: Total number of deliveries in one years was 10045. Total number of polyhydramnios in one year was 147 out of which 100 cases of polyhydramnios were studied. The incidence of polyhydramnios was 1.4% during this period. Most of the cases were mild polyhydramnios (84%) and idiopathic (57%). Preterm labour and CPD were the major maternal complications during pregnancy. 61% babies were alive and perinatal death was 31%. Interpretation and Conclusion: Ultrasonography is the best means for early detection polyhydramnios as a complication of pregnancy and it is also useful for early detection of foetal congenital anomalies.
