Abstract: Oligohydramnios is an ominous pregnant complication with high perinatal morbidity and mortality of 80%–90%, if it was observed in second trimester. However, there is no promising modality to cure it at that period. In this case, heparin therapy was successful in an early onset extreme oligohydramnios.

Keywords: fetal growth restriction, oligohydramnios, heparin, therapy
