Abstract :Oligohydramnios is a rare condition where the liquor amnii may be reduced to a few ml. of viscid fluid. This is a late sign of foetal malnutrition. Oligohydramnios or diminished liquor is quite often associated with impaired foetal growth, foetal anomaly and malpresentation. The study was done to see whether maternal nutrition plays any role in maintaining the foetal environment, 20 patient sof oligohydramnios in third trimester were selected for the present study. Maternal nutrition was improved by parenteral amino acid infusion. A significant improvement was observed subsequently as the AF1 was seen to increase and less operative intervention was needed. A lesser perinatal mortality was as well seen. Results: From the study conducted it can be suggested that I/V infusion of aminoacids and Fructodex has a beneficial effect to both mother and foetus in case of idiopathic oligohydramnios in developing countries. However, larger studies with controlled trial are needed to be done. Material and methods: The study was done on 40 clinically and sonographically proven cases of oligohydramnios in third trimester of pregnancy, in the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetritcs in Chalmeda An and Rao Institute of medical sciences over a period of 2yrs from 2015-2017 .
