Ultrasound images of abnormalities of amniotic fluid:Hyperechoic amniotic fluid/ Liquor: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.
