Ultrasonography done three weeks ago revealed oligohydramnios. When it was repeated this week, it became clear that there is also fetal ascites, and moderate degree of hydronephrosis on one side, with lesser degree on the other side, together with some pericardial effusion, and scrotal edema. No other anomalies were detected (until now). Would you terminate this precious pregnancy, or what? >> Is the fetus karyotypically normal (amniocentesis/PUBS). Did you consider evaluating the fetus for treatable causes of hydrops? You have not yet described any fetal anomalies. Allan T.Bombard, MD Oakland, CA

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
