Potter Phenotype
Potter phenotype, or Potter sequence, describes a set of physical features that appear in the baby when there is very little amniotic fluid during pregnancy, frequently due to abnormalities in the development of the kidneys.
Associated features: It is usually related to particular facial features, abnormal postures of the limbs and breathing difficulties due to limited development of the lungs.
Why prenatal monitoring matters: Pregnancy follow-up makes it possible to detect low amounts of amniotic fluid and assess the development of the baby's organs.
Who treats it? The pediatrician and neonatologist care for the newborn, in coordination with the area that monitors the pregnancy. When there are findings on prenatal checkups, the most sensible step is to discuss them with a professional who can explain them in detail.
