Prenatal ultrasound findings of fetal bilateral echogenic kidneys accompanied by oligohydramnios can be highly stressful for both pregnant women and physicians. The diversity of underlying causes make...
We report two cases of abnormal fetal echogenic kidneys with oligohydramnios detected in the early third trimester. Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD), a rare genetic syndrome, was ...
Prenatal diagnosis of fetal echogenic kidneys with oligohydramnios should prioritize accurate diagnosis. Given the differences in the clinical spectrum, GCKD should be considered a differential diagno...
Introduction Limited evidence exists on borderline oligohydramnios. Our objective was to determine perinatal outcomes in uncomplicated term pregnancies with borderline oligohydramnios. Methods This re...
Term oligohydramnios is linked to pregnancy complications. We previously presented the outcome of the low-risk population (no pregnancy complications) with term oligohydramnios. This study aims to add...
This retrospective cohort study of 1,114 singleton term (≥37), oligohydramnios (AFI <50 mm) pregnancies from Shamir Medical Center between 2017 and 2021. Compering the low-risk to high-risk groups wit...
A total of 211 subjects (19 %) were high-risk cases and 903 (81 %) low-risk cases. Comparing these two groups, subjects of the high-risk group were older (31.34 ± 5.85 vs. 29.51 vs. 4.96), had earlier...
This study highlights the importance of considering pregnancy risk factors when we are approaching oligohydramnios in high-risk pregnancies....
Although 60.5 % of clinically unexplained stillbirths can be attributed to placental insufficiency and/or fetal growth restriction, clinicians rarely calculate estimated placental volume (EPV). We pre...
Congenital lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) is a rare but significant condition affecting fetal urinary tract development. LUTO has a range of etiologies, with posterior urethral valves (PUV) be...
A 27-year-old pregnant Caucasian women was referred at 28 weeks of pregnancy due to the presence of megacystis and bilateral hydronephrosis on routine ultrasound and suspicion of LUTO. Repeat ultrasou...
LUTO might lead to important renal dysfunction and pulmonary hypoplasia in case of increasing disease severity. Spontaneous bladder rupture might improve renal prognosis, acting as a pop-off mechanism...
Factor X (FX) is a vitamin K-dependent enzyme, which acts as an important coagulation factor of coagulation cascade. FX deficiency is an autosomal recessive inherited disease and is often demonstrated...
Oligohydramnios (defined as amniotic fluid volume < 5 cm or deepest vertical pocket < 2 cm) is regarded as an ominous finding on prenatal ultrasound. Amniotic fluid, however, is not static, and to dat...
This is a secondary analysis of a NIH-funded retrospective cohort study of singleton gestations delivered at a tertiary-care hospital between 2002 and 2013 with mild hypertensive disorders, and/or fet...
Of 527 women meeting study criteria, 42 had oligohydramnios that resolved prior to delivery, while 485 had persistent oligohydramnios. There were no significant differences in patient demographics bet...
Patients whose oligohydramnios resolved were diagnosed earlier, yet had similar rates of neonatal resuscitation but higher rates of FGR than those who had persistent oligohydramnios....
Oligohydramnios is a common clinical condition among pregnant women. It has direct effects on maternal and fetal outcomes. The related complications in women with oligohydramnios have not been determi...
In this follow-up cross-sectional study, pregnant women with oligohydramnios were monitored until delivery at the Duhok Maternity Teaching Hospital to assess the outcomes of oligohydramnios between Ma...
More than half (121, 60.5%) of the participants were aged between 20 and 29 years. The gravidity range of the studied pregnant women was 1-9. A total of 156 (78.0%) women have had a history of one to ...
This study showed that a considerable percentage of women with oligohydramnios were older; had higher gravida, parity, and preterm pregnancies; and had previous cesarean section scars. The most common...
The aim of this review is to evaluate the relationship between the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) during last trimesters of the pregnancy and the reduction of amniotic fluid....
Electronic databases were searched (PubMed, Medline, and Scopus). Selection criteria included studies reporting the relationship between oligohydramnios and use of NSAID during pregnancy. We analyzed ...
Of the 68 records identified, we analyzed 29 studies investigating the administration of NSAIDs, including 11 studies examined the administration of the Indomethacin, four articles have focused on the...
The use of NSAIDs should be considered when maternal benefits outweigh the potential fetal risk, at the lowest effective dose for shortest duration. Beyond 48 h of NSAIDs treatment, we consider ultras...
Meconium aspiration syndrome is one of the commonest cause of respiratory distress in neonates. The incidence is still high in developing world. This study aims to study the clinical characteristics a...
This was a cross-sectional descriptive study done among neonates admitted to the neonatal Intensive Care Unit with a diagnosis of Meconium Aspiration syndrome. Relevant epidemiological, clinical and l...
Out of 140 neonates with a mean birth weight of 2865 + 543 grams,73.6% were male, of which 76.4% were referred cases while 23.6% were inborn. Of them 69.3% had history of thin type of meconium while 3...
Meconium aspiration syndrome is one of the commonest cause of respiratory distress in a neonate which is associated with common maternal risk factors especially in primigravida which included Urinary ...
