Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical significance of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of simple polyhydramnios . Methods 186 singleton pregnancies cases of inpatient and outpatient diagnosed with simple polyhydramnios were divided into three groups with a two-dimensional semi-quantitative method ,separate amniotic fluid index (AFI)> 20cm (A group) ,separate maxi-mum amnionic fluid volume(AFV)>8 cm(B group) ,AFI≥20 cm and AFV≥8 cm(C group) ,and the changes were dynamically monitored .Results Occurrence rates of persistent polyhydramnios and fetal malformations in C group was higher than in the other two groups ,and the difference showed no statistical significance(P<0 .05);No correlation was found between recurrent polyhydr-amnios and fetal malformation among these three groups(P>0 .05);Among the 84 .4% of simple polyhydramnios ,no fetal malfor-mation was found .Conclusion Ultrasound diagnosis of simple polyhydramnios shows clinical value in assessment of fetal malfor-mation ,fetal outcome ,perinatal morbidity and prognosis ,and is good for prenatal counseling and treatment .
