title: [Use of indomethacin in the therapy of poly-hydramnios. Description and comments on a case].
abstract: The Authors report their experience of two pregnancies complicated by polyhydramnios, treated with indomethacin (100 mg/day for 10 and 7 days respectively). The outcome of both pregnancies was foetal intrauterine death. The absence of foetal anomalies incompatible with life and the presence of tissue lesions by asphyxia led the Authors to think that indomethacin might have had a determinant role in the foetal death. This study suggests that the use of indomethacin in polyhydramnios is questionable.
