" Potter Syndrome"

Do u remember the story of Harry Potter.. not my fav though... but just to used his dear name.. POTTER...

Potter syndrome or also known as Potter sequence with classic triad:
1. CLUBBED hand or leg
2. PULMONARY HYPOPLASIA
3. CRANIAL abnormality

this happen due to OLIGOHYDROAMION... which main course of oligohydroamnion is BRA(Bilateral Renal Agenesis)...

usually it is detected only at second trimester which lead to poorer prognosis..

get the slight idea...
few remark:
according to AFI( Amniotic Fluid Index)
normal =8-18
oligo~ <5 or 6
poly~ >20 to 24
