Multiple antepartum amnioinfusions in selected cases of oligohydramnios.
In general the perinatal outcome of oligohydramnios is poor. The diverse etiology of the entity is difficult to pinpoint. Multiple antepartum amnioinfusions can be beneficial in selected cases not associated with malformations, abnormal karyotypes or premature rupture of the membranes. We treated 38 patients with 105 such instillations.
