TOG Topics List



This post is about the TOG topics list with links starting from 2012 till April 2026. The download links to the 'free access' articles have been provided. All you have to do is to click the specific topic and the article will be open in a new window.


My purpose in sharing it with you all is to give an idea about 'organising your study material' in a way to save your precious time. This is a practical answer to a  frequently asked question, “What are the TOG articles in a specific year?”


You need a subscription to access the articles for which no links are given. After a specific time, the article becomes free to access. The list will make sure that you get all the important articles. Please add to this list whenever a new TOG issue is published.


All the best.

Isolated Abnormal Amniotic Fluid Volume in Pregnancy

This blogpost is the summary of the recent TOG article published in January 2026. It provides an overview of polyhydramnios / oligohydramnios; various cause; its impact on mother & fetus and management of pregnancy/delivery. This is an important resource for exam questions. 

I hope this blog post is helpful. Feel free to leave your feedback in the comments.

Introduction

  • Amniotic fluid volume (AFV) - vital measurement for fetal well-being
  • Amniotic fluid - produced by fetus & comprises fetal urine and lung fluid; protects fetus from trauma, allows fetal movements & prevents cord compression
  • Pathologies disrupting swallowing ± urine production or flow can directly affect AFV
  • AFV correlated with gestational age & size
  • Abnormal AFV could be due to placental, fetal or maternal pathology or a combination

Measuring AFV

  • Most accurate method to measure AFV - dye dilution test (limited diagnostic value as it requires amniocentesis)
  • Clinically AFV measured in 2 ways - Single Deepest Vertical Pocket (SDVP) or Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI)
  • SDVP preferred choice for AFV assessment
  • AFI measurement increases rates of oligohydramnios diagnosis

Polyhydramnios

  • Defined as - increase AFV, SVDP ≥8 cm or AFI ≥24 cm
  • No universal agreed classification
  • Complicate 1-2% of pregnancies
  • Most common cause of mild-to-moderate polyhydramnios - Idiopathic
  • Fetal abnormalities account for over 30% of severe polyhydramnios
  • Early severe polyhydramnios or in context of FGR or SGA confers poor prognosis

Isolated polyhydramnios
  • Most common cause of polyhydramnios - Idiopathic (isolated polyhydramnios)
  • Accounts for 60-70% of all cases & 1% of pregnancies overall
  • Most cases identified in 3rd tri - mild-to-moderate make up 80% overall & 90% of cases at term’
