Abstract

The appearances of the amnion from two patients with polyhydramnios and two patients with oligohydramnios are described. In polyhydramnios the amnion showed a normal incidence of all the four patterns found in normal amnion at term and no abnormal features were noted. In oligohydramnios, two of four normal patterns predominated and intercellular canals were sparse.
