Polyhydramnios:

increase in volume of amniotic fluid     polyhydramnios

Ultrasound image of polyhydramnios

The above ultrasound images show excess amniotic fluid (the largest single pocket measuring 11 cms. approximately). This suggests mild to moderate polyhydramnios. Particulate matter seen in the fluid is due to fetal meconium. Sonography of polyhydramnios was done using a GE, Logiq-3 ultrasound machine.

ultrasound image of echogenic amniotic fluid

 

These ultrasound images reveal markedly echogenic (hyperechoic) amniotic fluid. The fluid shows almost the same echogenicity as the placenta. Such appearances of the liquor amni on sonography are seen due presence of vernix caseosa (commonest cause), blood or meconium in the amniotic fluid. Images courtesy of Dr. Ravi Kadasne, UAE.
