Vasopressin in fetal cerebrospinal fluid.
Vasopressin concentrations were measured in the cerebrospinal fluid in two hydrocephalic fetuses at 33 and 34 weeks of gestation. The vasopressin concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid were 0.8 and 0.6 pg/ml, and in amniotic fluid 0.4 and 1.0 pg/ml, respectively. Previously measured vasopressin concentrations in amniotic fluid of the normal fetuses have been of the same magnitude.
