Vesico-rectal fistula is a rare congenital abnormality causing severe early second trimester oligohydramnios. Prenatal diagnosis of such a case is reported here. Ultrasound diagnosis could be aided by transabdominal amnio-infusion and, if necessary, fetal intraperitoneal saline installation. In a karyotypically normal fetus with normal somatic growth, demonstration of normal fetal kidneys together with a functioning urinary bladder, in presence of severe oligohydramnios, is very suggestive of the diagnosis. Since pulmonary hypoplasia is the major cause of neonatal mortality in these cases, restoration of normal amniotic fluid volume by serial amnio-infusion was attempted. Although amnio-infusion is an important diagnostic aid in the evaluation of severe midtrimester oligohydramnios, the role of multiple therapeutic amnio-infusion in improving lung growth remains to be evaluated.
