P01.34: Evaluation of complications after the genetic amniocentesis

Procedure-related complications after genetic amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling.

PURPOSE Amniocentesis (AC) and chorionic villus sampling (CVS) play an important role in the diagnosis of genetic anomalies. The aim of this study was to evaluate presentable numbers of procedure-related complications of genetic interventions in a tertiary referral hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS The pregnancy outcome of women who underwent genetic AC or CVS during 2003-2010 at the Department...

Incidence of rhesus immunisation after genetic amniocentesis.

Of 655 Rh negative women without anti-D antibody in their serum at genetic amniocentesis, 361 delivered a Rh positive infant. Prophylactic treatment with anti-D immunoglobulin was not given at amniocentesis. The women were followed prospectively, being given a screening test for antibody after amniocentesis, at delivery, and six months later. Five of these 361 women yielded a positive test resu...

Investigating the Complications of Transplacental Needle Passage in Amniocentesis

Background and purpose: Amniocentesis is the most commonly used method for diagnosis of aneuploid and other genetic disorders of the fetus. Cautious should be taken when entering the amniocentesis needle to avoid entering the placenta. The purpose of this study was to investigate the consequences of needle transposition from the placenta during amniocentesis. Materials and methods: In a cohort...

Spontaneous reseal of ruptured membranes after genetic amniocentesis.

BACKGROUND Rupture of membranes is an uncommon complication of genetic amniocentesis. The risk of ruptured membranes is reported as 1-1.2%. CASE Genetic amniocentesis complicated by ruptured membranes was diagnosed in a 31-year-old woman. The membranes resealed after 48 hours with conservative management and the pregnancy ended with a favorable outcome. CONCLUSION Spontaneous reseal of rupt...
