Neonatal survival after preterm premature rupture of membranes secondary to first trimester chorionic villus sampling.
A case of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM) secondary to first trimester chorial biopsy is described. The newborn survived and physical and psychological development was normal at 1 year of age. On review of the literature, different attitudes may be found with regard to the treatment of PROM: some authors prefer expectant management while others defend extraction of the fetus when reasonable maturity is reached. In both cases the outcome is usually poor for the fetus.
