Sonographic myometrial thickness predicts the latency interval of women with preterm premature rupture of the membranes and oligohydramnios

Significant thickening of the anterior and fundal walls of the uterus follows PPROM. A thick myometrium in nonlaboring patients with PPROM is associated with longer latency interval. Sonographic evaluation of MT may represent an alternative clinical tool for the prediction of a short latency interval in women with PPROM.
