Polyhydramnios: does reducing the amniotic fluid volume decrease the incidence of prematurity?

Abstract
Polyhydramnios is an uncommon cause of premature labor and delivery. After sonographic evaluation has confirmed the polyhydramnios and a determination is made of the potential etiologies, indomethacin appears to be an effective agent in reducing the amniotic fluid volume and in preventing prematurity.
