Termination of pregnancy complicated by anencephaly with intra-amniotic prostaglandin F2 alpha

M L Schwartz et al. Am J Obstet Gynecol. .

Abstract

It is anticipated that there will be more frequent need to terminate anencephalic pregnancies of greater than 20 weeks' duration before term. Since present methods are unsatisfactory, the use of incremental intra-amniotic injections of prostaglandin F2 alpha with continuous monitoring of intrauterine pressure was evaluated in three cases. The method appears to be satisfactory.
