Re: density of amniotic fluid From: Philippe Jeanty (jeanty@TheFetus.net) Mon Nov 19 10:04:35 2001 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Heather Palmer: "Informal Case: Hydrops embryo and endometrial polyp" Previous message: The-Hung Bui: "Re: density of amniotic fluid" I think this is simply meconium. In the classical OB literature this is supposed to be associated with fetal hypoxia, but I have seen this in MANY case with no hypoxia, and if you check it a week or two later, the fluid may clear up again (swallowing by the baby). I am no longer concerned by this, IF IT IS AN ISOLATED finding (meaning no crummy Doppler, or the likes). -----Original Message----- From: ultrasound@obgyn.net [mailto:ultrasound@obgyn.net]On Behalf Of The-Hung Bui Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 3:12 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ULTRASOUND Subject: Re: density of amniotic fluid At 12:28 2001-11-18 -0600, you wrote: I was performing a scan of a pregnant women at 37 w. The density of the amniotic fluid was identical to the density of the placenta, then the umbilical cord was an hipoechogenic estructure going through the ecodense fluid, the IP of the umbilical artery was normal, the amount of amniotic fluid was also normal, and was no infection signs nor bleeding.What do you think about? Nothing to worry about, it is related to the fat content of AF. We have seen a few such cases with all normal delivery and outcome of the baby. ************************************************ The-Hung Bui, MD Senior Consultant Clinical Geneticist -- & Obstetrician-Gynecologist (Fetal Medicine) Director, Fetal Diagnosis Program & Outpatient Clinics Dept of Molecular Medicine Clinical Genetics Unit Karolinska hospital SE-17176 Stockholm Sweden tel: (+46 8) 517 74989 direct line; 517 72472 Secretary fax: (+46 8) 32 77 34 E-mail: the-hung.bui@ks.se Next message: Heather Palmer: "Informal Case: Hydrops embryo and endometrial polyp" Previous message: The-Hung Bui: "Re: density of amniotic fluid"
