Depending on the severity and cause of hydrops, there may be edema of fetus and placenta, ascites, pleural effusions and/or pericardial effusions.

| description | Hydrops fetalis is an excess accumulation of fluid in the fetus. Depending on the severity and cause of hydrops, there may be edema of fetus and placenta, ascites, pleural effusions and/or pericardial effusions. In previous years, most cases of hydrops were caused by severe erythroblastosis fetalis secondary to Rh isoimmunization. Most cases of hydrops fetalis are now caused by other conditions and are known as nonimmune hydrops. Here is a case of an 18 week pregnancy with hydrops fetalis, cystic hygroma and other structural anomalies suggestive chromosomal abnormalities. |
