Abstract
Transabdominal amnioinfusion improves the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in pregnancies complicated by second-trimester oligohydramnios. Needle localization may be difficult because of patient obesity or the absence of an acoustic window. The two cases presented demonstrate that color Doppler imaging facilitates amnioinfusion by visualizing the injection jet of free-flowing infusate, confirming intraamniotic needle placement.
