Abstract

Persistent amniorrhea and extraamniotic fluid collection was observed after amniocentesis. After the drainage of extraamniotic fluid, maternal blood was given under ultrasonographic guidance to produce a clot patch. Amniorrhea was controlled within 12 hours and a healthy baby was delivered at term.
