Objectves: (1) To study the effect of oligohydramnios on maternal outcome in terms of vaginal delivery or caesarean section. (2) To study the effect of oligohydramnios on fetal outcome in terms of Apgar score, NICU admission, birth weight and perinatal death. Methods: A prospective study conducted from January 2017 to July 2017 at Govt. Lalla Ded Hospital in Srinagar, Kashmir, where 100 patients with oligohydramnios were recruited and studied for maternal and perinatal outcome after meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Majority of the patients were in the age group of 25-29. Incidence of oligohydramnios was more in primigravida. Most common cause was idiopathic (65%) followed by PIH (24%). NST was reactive in 62% and nonreactive in 38%. 18% patients delivered vaginally and 82% by caesarean section with most common indication being fetal distress. Conclusion: Oligohydramnios is associated with adverse perinatal outcome and increased maternal morbidity in terms of operative interference. Thus, proper antepartum surveillance and timely intervention is needed for better results.
