In the 9-years period (1967 to 1975) we are using the amnioscopy increasing generously. Nevertheless the percentage on pathological findings of the amniotic fluid altogether and in the seperate groups of indication is nearly has been always the same. It is'nt exact correlation between the severity of the symptoms of risk and the occurrence of the pathological findings in the amniotic fluid. The grand reliability of the amnioscopy also follows from the material of ourselves: The perinatal mortality in the group of supervised pregnant women by amnioscopy is clear less than in the group of nonsupervised. That comes true to all three parts of perinatal mortality. Our own experiences speak in generous use of the optical evaluation of amniotic fuuid by was of screening.
