Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Introduction: Polyhydromnios has been recognized as a clinical land mark of congenital malformations and impending severe perinatal compromise. So the present study aims to ascertain the incidence of various etiological factors, maternal complications and associated foetal anamolies in cases of polyhydromnios. Material and Methods: The present prospective study conducted for a period of 1 year on fifty pregnant women with polyhydromnios which was clinically suspected. All cases of overdistended uterus were taken for study. The study was conducted over a period of 1 year. Results: The present study comprised of fifty cases of polyhydromnios confirmed by ultrasound and looked for congenital malformations. Most of these patients belonged to low socioeconomic status about 70%. Most of these cases were in age group of 20-30 years. Coming to parity most of these cases were multiparous women, among them grandmulti were about 8%.Teenage pregnancies were about 22%. Among the 50 cases studies most of these were mild variety, severe variety was 8% of cases. Toxaemia of pregnancy was observed in 22%. Rh isoimmunisation was found in 2% of cases. Anaemia is the most common associated medical condition seen in all grades of hydromnios, (which was seen in 64% of cases). Multiple pregnancy was observed in 8% of cases. Twin pregnancy was 6%, out of which Monozygotic twins were 4%, Dizigotic twins were 2%, Triplets were 2%. In this study the overall incidence of congenital malformation was 20%. Most commonly seen congenital anomalies were open neural tube defects. Conclusion: This study ascertained the incidence of various etiological factors, maternal complications and associated foetal anamolies of polyhydromnios. The technical innovations in the medical field should be utilised properly
