[The polyhydramnios symptom: analysis of 56 cases].
Analysis of 56 CASES: 56 cases of polyhydramnios, which were diagnosed sonographically over a period of three years, were analysed retrospectively in this study. In 9334 births, the prevalence of this symptom was 0.6%. Malformations were the most common cause (26.7%) of polyhydramnios (p < 0.001). In comparison to our normal patient group gestational diabetes, twin pregnancies with elevated amniotic fluid of one twin, virus infections, fetal chromosome abnormalities were diagnosed at a significantly higher rate (p < 0.001). The perinatal mortality rate (28.5%) in comparison to our normal collective (1.6%) was also significantly higher. Because of the high mortality, polyhydramnios must be assessed precisely and treated if possible. Fetal karyotyping should be routinely performed in the second trimester.
