I will see if I can find some images. One way of elaborating the visual discrepancy between the two is to compare the homogeneous dispersion of meconium in AF to the appearance of a typical endometrioma. Vernix in AF on the other hand shows up as suspension with heterogeneous particulate matter, finer particles remain dispersed, larger particles swirl and sink to the floor. Koolaid vs. orange juice.

Mary, this statement is very interesting: "Vernix never seems quite as homogenous when held in AF suspension as meconium." Can you elaborate, or do you have comparitive images that you can post?
Thanks for your participation.

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.
