Very early prolonged premature rupture of membranes and survival

Eur J Pediatr. 1990 May;149(8):585-6. doi: 10.1007/BF01957699.

Abstract

Fetal survival is possible even with very premature rupture of membranes followed by persisting oligohydramnios, secondary Potter facies and limb deformities. A case history is given with continuous amniotic fluid loss starting at 11+4 weeks, without development of pulmonary hypoplasia.
