[Experience from amniofoetography in second half of pregnancy (author's transl)]. 1980

H Leitsmann, and C Schlegel, and K E Ruckhäberle

Fourteen amniofoetographies were evaluated in tabulated form, with methods and results being reported in this paper. Indications were limited. The importance of amniofoetography to differential diagnosis was found to be based on the specificity of ultrasonographic findings as well as on the disclosure of atresia in the gastro-intestinal tract and of congenital hydrops in cases of hydramnion.

D006831	Polyhydramnios	A condition of abnormally high AMNIOTIC FLUID volume, such as greater than 2,000 ml in the LAST TRIMESTER and usually diagnosed by ultrasonographic criteria (AMNIOTIC FLUID INDEX). It is associated with maternal DIABETES MELLITUS; MULTIPLE PREGNANCY; CHROMOSOMAL DISORDERS; and congenital abnormalities.	Hydramnios

D000015	Abnormalities, Multiple	Congenital abnormalities that affect more than one organ or body structure.	Multiple Abnormalities
D000757	Anencephaly	A malformation of the nervous system caused by failure of the anterior neuropore to close. Infants are born with intact spinal cords, cerebellums, and brainstems, but lack formation of neural structures above this level. The skull is only partially formed but the eyes are usually normal. This condition may be associated with folate deficiency. Affected infants are only capable of primitive (brain stem) reflexes and usually do not survive for more than two weeks.
