| Popis: | This study evaluates the association between dolichocephaly and fetal outcome after preterm premature rupture of membranes. Dolichocephaly was more common in preterm fetuses in the breech presentation than those in the cephalic presentation and was more common in fetuses with oligohydramnios of long duration. Of fetuses in the cephalic presentation, 10 of 12 (83%) surviving dolichocephalic fetuses had respiratory distress syndrome compared with 31 of 73 (42%) normocephalic fetuses. However, other outcome parameters did not differ significantly. We conclude that the finding of dolichocephaly is associated with oligohydramnios of long duration. In fetuses with preterm premature rupture of membranes it is associated with respiratory distress syndrome, but not otherwise with a poor neonatal prognosis. |
