An experience of second-trimester anhydramnios salvaged by single amnioinfusion

We describe a case of second-trimester anhydramnios with an umbilical cord factor, wherein single amnioinfusion may have successfully broken a vicious circle involving non-reassuring fetal status. A 34-year-o ld primigravid woman was referred to our hospital because of anhydramnios at 22 weeks’ gestation. Single amnioinfusion improved the fetal circulatory failure, and the patient delivered a healthy full-term newborn. Single amnioinfusion may be a therapeutic approach to improve the prognosis of preg nancy when second-trimester anhydramnios results from umbilical cord factors.
