TRANSIENT OLIGOHYDRAMNIOS IN A SEVERELY HYPOVOLEMIC GRAVID WOMAN AT 35 WEEKS GESTATION, WITH FLUID REACCUMULATING IMMEDIATELY AFTER INTRAVENOUS MATERNAL HYDRATION

Oligohydramnios is known to accompany chronically hypovolemic maternal conditions, usually preeclampsia, pregnancy-induced hypertension, and intrauterine growth retardation. A case is presented in which an acute maternal hypovolemic situation with oligohydramnios was treated vigorously with intravenous fluid hydration; ultrasonography documented immediate reaccumulation of normal amniotic fluid volume. © 1990.
