| الوصف: | Amniotic fluid assessment is crucial in prenatal ultrasound to monitor fetal conditions, with polyhydramnios, characterized by excessive amniotic fluid, affecting 1%–2% of pregnancies. Polyhydramnios is linked to complications such as placental abruption, preterm labor, congenital anomalies, and postpartum hemorrhage, emphasizing the need for early detection and management. While idiopathic causes account for 60%–70% of cases, other causes include impaired fetal swallowing and increased urine production due to maternal, fetal, and placental conditions. Accurate amniotic fluid volume (AFV) assessment and surveying the underlying cause are important, with ultrasound methods such as deep vertical pocket (DVP) and amniotic fluid index (AFI) preferred. Polyhydramnios is defined by an AFV exceeding 2000 ml, an AFI over 24 cm, or DVP more than 8 cm. Management typically targets underlying causes, with treatments such as amnioreduction and indomethacin for severe cases. Antepartum monitoring includes detailed fetal ultrasound, genomic and genetic examinations, and tests for maternal diabetes and infections. Intrapartum management addresses complications such as malpresentation and shoulder dystocia, whereas postpartum care involves monitoring for uterine atony and hemorrhage. Perinatal outcomes in idiopathic polyhydramnios are generally poorer, with increased risks of fetal demise, preterm delivery, and neonatal complications, but these results may need further stratification and verification. |
