<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[An study was made on 8 pregnant women having hydramnios, four of them having symptoms of risk for pre-term delivery, or light dyspnea, who were treated with oral indomethacin (100 mg/d) for 7 days in three cycles). The interval between the diagnosis and the beginning of therapy was 27 ± 3 weeks. Fetal biometry was made weekly, as well as echocardiography, to analyze the ductus constriction, and there was no evidence that this happened in those cases under treatment. The 8 cases showed that 62.5 % was born after 37 weeks of pregnancy, with low weight (37.5 %) and 1 of them had retarded intrauterine growth. The index was normalized between 50 and 95 percentage in 6 of the cases after the third cycle of treatment. A series-study of fetal bladder was carried out by echographia before and after indomethacin therapy, showing a significant decline of fetal diuresis. In 3 of 8 cases, the cause of hydramnios was detected. It occured a gemellary´s death and a neonatal death too. It is recommended to use this indomethacin therapy for hydramnios, following up strictly the parameters involved in the evolution.]]></p></abstract>

The interval between the diagnosis and  the beginning of therapy was 27 <FONT FACE=Symbol>&plusmn;</FONT> 3 weeks. Fetal  biometry was made weekly, as well as echocardiography, to analyze the ductus constriction,  and there was no evidence that this happened in those cases under treatment. The  8 cases showed that 62.5 % was born after 37 weeks of pregnancy, with low weight  (37.5 %) and 1 of them had retarded intrauterine growth. The index was normalized  between 50 and 95 percentage in 6 of the cases after the third cycle of treatment.  A series-study of fetal bladder was carried out by echographia before and after  indomethacin therapy, showing a significant decline of fetal diuresis. In 3 of  8 cases, the cause of hydramnios was detected. It occured a gemellary&acute;s  death and a neonatal death too. It is recommended to use this indomethacin therapy  for hydramnios, following up strictly the parameters involved in the evolution.      <P>Subject headings: POLYHYDRAMNIOS/drug therapy; INDOMETHACIN/administration  &amp; dosage; INDOMETHACIN/therapeutic use. <H4> Referencias bibliogr&aacute;ficas</H4>    <!-- ref --><P>  1.
