Common causes of polyhydramnios include fetal anatomical and genetic abnormalities, gestational diabetes mellitus, and fetal viral infections. We present the case of a 30-year-old Caucasian woman with transient polyhydramnios associated with gestational diabetes mellitus and obstetric complications. The diagnosis was based on the ultrasound assessment of amniotic fluid volume during a common examination at 26 weeks. Two weeks prior, the patient had been diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus. After 4 days, the patient was examined, and the amniotic fluid index returned to normal values. At 38 weeks, the patient presented to the emergency room due to lack of fetal active movement. Ultrasound revealed polyhydramnios, the patient was admitted for severe fetal bradycardia, and fetal extraction through emergency cesarian section was performed. Six weeks after birth, the patient underwent an oral glucose tolerance test with normal values, confirming gestational diabetes mellitus. We performed a systematic review of the literature on polyhydramnios, from January 2016 to April 2022, to analyze all recent published cases and identify the most common etiological causes and important aspects related to maternal-fetal outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics12061340","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,29]],"date-time":"2022-05-29T08:50:51Z","timestamp":1653814251000},"page":"1340","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Transient Polyhydramnios during Pregnancy Complicated with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: Case Report and Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5903-0181","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agnesa","family":"Preda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Doctoral School, Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"},{"name":"Clinical County Emergency Hospital of Craiova, 200642 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adela Gabriela","family":"\u0218tefan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diabetes, Nutrition and Metabolic Diseases, Calafat Municipal Hospital, 205200 Calafat, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0232-0070","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Silviu Daniel","family":"Preda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical County Emergency Hospital of Craiova, 200642 Craiova, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandru Cristian","family":"Com\u0103nescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical County Emergency Hospital of Craiova, 200642 Craiova, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Ginecology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3341-1442","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mircea-C\u0103t\u0103lin","family":"For\u021bofoiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Semiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"},{"name":"\u201cPhilanthropy\u201d Clinical Municipal Hospital of Craiova, 200143 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mihaela Ionela","family":"Vladu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical County Emergency Hospital of Craiova, 200642 Craiova, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Diabetes, Nutrition and Metabolic Diseases, Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2056-6779","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"For\u021bofoiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u201cPhilanthropy\u201d Clinical Municipal Hospital of Craiova, 200143 Craiova, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Mo\u021ba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Doctoral School, Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"795","DOI":"10.1097\/01.ogx.0000290349.58707.e0","article-title":"A review of idiopathic hydramnios and pregnancy outcomes","volume":"62","author":"Magann","year":"2007","journal-title":"Obstet.
