Polyhydramnios is defined as excessive accumulation of amniotic fluid in relation to gestational age usually more than 2000 ml. More recently when Amniotic Fluid Index is more than 95th and 97th percentile for the gestational age condition is called as polyhydramnios. It is frequently associated with congenital anomalies of the fetus. The aim of our study was to observe prevalence of congenital anomalies in polyhydramnios. The present study was carried out in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Umaid Hospital attached to Dr. S. N. Medical College, Jodhpur. In this study patients of polyhydramnios with gestational age between 20 to 42 weeks with amniotic fluid index more than 24 were enrolled after taking informed written consent. Degree of polyhydramnios was graded as mild, moderate and severe. Detail study of fetus was done for possible congenital anomalies. Congenital anomalies were confirmed with post-natal findings. There were 196 pregnant women with amniotic fluid index (AFI) > 24 cm. Prevalence of polyhydramnios was 1.66%. Congenital anomalies were present in 16.84% out of total 196 cases of polyhydroamnios. In pregnant women with severe polyhydramnios 51.51 % and in moderate 45.45% had congenital anomalies. Most common congenital anomaly was anencephaly (3.57%) followed by Hydrops (3.57%), Central nervous system, gastrointestinal and skeletal anomalies. Polyhydramnios is associated with increased risk of congenital anomalies hence Intrauterine condition of fetus should be monitored by using various diagnostic facilities like USG, Doppler, Echo-cardiography, amniocentesis and cordocentesis for possible congenital anomalies. |
