  • Title: Fetal injury with midtrimester diagnostic amniocentesis.
    Author: Epley SL, Hanson JW, Cruikshank DP.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 1979 Jan; 53(1):77-80. PubMed ID: 760024.
    Abstract:
    One hundred seven infants born after midtrimester amniocentesis were examined. The frequency of fetal injury was 9%, and was directly related to the number of attempts at amniocentesis. All were minor cutaneous injuries except for 1 case of disruption of a patellar tendon. Suggestions are made regarding ways to reduce the incidence of fetal puncture.
