摘要：

EDITORIAL COMMENT: This paper reports a simple clinical message that may not surprise readers, but should interest them — polyhydramnios diagnosed for the first time during labour or at delivery is not a benign finding. Summary: In the 38 cases of polyhydramnios reported here the diagnosis was made only at the time of artificial rupture of the membranes to induce or augment labour, or at Caesarean section. Usually this was a benign finding often associated with overweight in the mother (60%) or baby (39.4%). However there was an increased incidence of major congenital abnormality (13.1%) resulting in a high perinatal mortality rate (10.5%); the paediatrician should therefore be alerted prior to delivery of these patients.
