| description | Hydrops fetalis is a condition which is characterised
by presence of excess body water as extracellular
accumulation in tissues and body cavities. A case of
hydrops fetalis born to a physiologically and genetically
normal mother has been reported here. A 24 years old
lady with 22 weeks gestation was diagnosed to have
hydrops fetalis during her routine scan at Department of
Gynaecology. Ultrasonograpy showed single intrauterine
gestation of 20 weeks 5 days with gross fetal ascites,
subcutaneous edema, bilateral pleural effusion and
multiloculated cystic area in the neck region. However,
fetal heart was active, heart rate was regular and four
chamber view of heart indicated normal anatomy of
heart. Termination of pregnancy was done. A dead baby
with non-immune fetal hydrops was delivered. Diagnosis
of a case of hydrops fetalis is made. Significance of early
diagnosis of non-immune fetal hydrops is discussed in
detail. |
