EXTRAMEMBRANOUS PREGNANCY AND AMNIORRHOEA

Abstract
Summary: A case of extramembranous pregnancy is reported; it was associated with brown vaginal discharge at 15 weeks and loss of liquor amriii from 16 weeks. The infant was born alive in the 28th week but died after three hours. At autopsy the volume of the body was found to be more than three times the capacity of the sac of membranes. The external appearance of the infant resembled that of bilateral renal agenesis, but no anomaly of the urinary organs was detected.A unique feature of this case was superficial linear skin grooves on the fetus caused by the free margin of the membranes.
