title: Raised maternal serum AFP, oligohydramnios and poor fetal outcome.
abstract: Six women who had an ultrasound scan examination in early pregnancy on account of a high serum alpha-fetoprotein level were noted to have little or no amniotic fluid. This paper gives details of the six pregnancies, two of which were extrauterine; only one of the six infants survived.
