oligohydramnios sequence

oligohydramnios sequence
a group of anomalies, usually causing death shortly after birth, caused by compression of the fetus secondary to oligohydramnios, which may result from renal agenesis or other fetal urinary tract defects or from leakage of amniotic fluid; infants have characteristic flattened facies (Potter facies) and skeletal abnormalities such as clubbed feet and contracted joints, often with hypoplasia of the lungs.
