Abstract
A case of preterm premature rupture of membranes (FROM) secondary to f irst trimester chorial biopsy is described. The newborn survived and p hysical and psychological development was normal at 1 year of age. On review of the literature, different attitudes may be found with regard to the treatment of FROM: some authors prefer expectant management wh ile others defend extraction of the fetus when reasonable maturity is reached. In both cases the outcome is usually poor for the fetus.
