Hydramnios is a medical condition characterized by an abnormal accumulation of amniotic fluid in the womb during pregnancy. It occurs when there is an imbalance between the amount of amniotic fluid produced and the amount of fluid absorbed back into the bloodstream. This can happen when the fetus is not absorbing nutrients and waste properly, or when there is a blockage in the ducts that normally drain excess fluid from the womb. Hydramnios can cause discomfort, pelvic pain, and difficulty breathing in the mother, as well as putting pressure on the fetus and potentially affecting its growth and development.
Hydranencephaly is a rare and fatal congenital anomaly of the central nervous system in which the cerebrum is destroyed and replaced by fluid-filled sacs, while the brain stem and cerebellum are normal. It is characterized by a complete absence of cerebral tissue, replaced by cerebrospinal fluid which fills the cranial cavity. The condition is often diagnosed prenatally or in early infancy. Hydranencephaly is usually associated with a poor prognosis and most infants with the condition do not survive beyond the first few weeks or months of life.
