  • Title: Hydrops fetalis.
    Author: Fleischer AC, Shah DM, Jeanty P, Sacks GA, Boehm FH.
    Journal: Clin Diagn Ultrasound; 1989; 25():283-306. PubMed ID: 2696546.
    Abstract:
    Sonography has a major role in the identification, evaluation, and treatment of the hydropic fetus. Although the prognosis of the NIH fetus is generally poor, the IIH fetus can frequently be treated effectively by transfusions performed by percutaneous needling of the umbilical vein. In addition, sonographic guidance of percutaneous umbilical vein sampling affords an accurate assessment of the etiology of NIH by facilitating karyotyping of the fetal blood.
