Heparin successfully improved an early onset intrauterine growth restriction accompanied by severe oligohydramnios
نویسنده
چکیده
Oligohydramnios is an ominous pregnant complication with high perinatal morbidity and mortality of 80%-90%, if it was observed in second trimester. However, there is no promising modality to cure it at that period. In this case, heparin therapy was successful in an early onset extreme oligohydramnios.

BACKGROUND Severe early-onset fetal growth restriction occurs in 0.4 % of all pregnancies, and the prognoses of these patients are dismal. Severely growth-restricted fetuses (far below 500 g) are thought to be nonviable. Since there have not been effective treatments for such fetal patients, obstetricians have simply tried to identify the optimal timing for their delivery. There are a few repor...

Oligohydramnios is frequently used to identify at risk fetuses. The purpose of this study was to assess adverse perinatal outcomes in oligohydramnios. Subjects comprised pregnant women diagnosed either with (590) or without (597) oligohydramnios who delivered after hospital admittance from 2000 to 2010 . Data, including the resuscitation of newborn, Apgar score at 5 min, NICU admission, death i...

The causes of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) are multifactorial with both intrinsic and extrinsic influences. While many studies focus on the intrinsic pathological causes, the possible long-term consequences resulting from extrinsic intrauterine physiological constraints merit additional consideration and further investigation. Infants with IUGR can exhibit early symmetric or late asym...

متن کاملTreatment of growth-restricted human fetuses with amino acids and glucose supplementation through a chronic fetal intravascular perinatal port system.
OBJECTIVE Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) carries an increased risk of mortality and morbidity. The accepted procedure to treat IUGR fetuses is premature delivery, which may increase neonatal mortality and morbidity and retards neonatal brain development. MATERIAL AND METHODS We report here on intravascular supplementation with amino acids and glucose of an IUGR human fetus at 33 weeks...
