  • Title: Fetal peritonitis due to appendiceal rupture: a rare complication of hydrops.
    Author: Lebel RR, Avery JM, Broome PJ, Gregg AR, Alan C, Mostafa M.
    Journal: Fetal Pediatr Pathol; 2008; 27(3):121-5. PubMed ID: 18633765.
    Abstract:
    A rare complication (appendiceal perforation with meconium peritonitis) was observed in a second trimester fetus affected by nonimmune fetal hydrops due to parvovirus B-19 infection. The complication is not considered specific to this or any other etiology for hydrops, which is highly heterogeneous; rather it is an expression of the fragility and friability of edematous tissues.
