Popis: Management of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is a very challenging issue for the obstetricians. We report two cases of PPROM occurring in early gestation remote from term (both26 weeks) with exiguous amniotic fluid (amniotic fluid index ofor =2 cm) that were managed successfully by conservative treatment and resulted in a latency period of almost two months. This treatment option might be feasible in carefully selected patients following meticulous evaluation and warrants further research.
