  • Title: [Familial non-immunologic hydrops fetalis].
    Author: Fahnenstich H, Schmid G, Kowalewski S, Gembruch U, Hansmann M.
    Journal: Klin Padiatr; 1989; 201(5):396-9. PubMed ID: 2796246.
    Abstract:
    The recurrent non-immunological hydrops fetalis is classified as a separate entity. It is usual to differentiate between the chylous and the idiopathic form. The case presented indicates that the recurrent non-immunological hydrops fetalis should not be seen as an idiopathic but as a chylous form. Only in enterally fed children the initially amber coloured pleural effusion becomes opaque and the triglycerides are then elevated. This points to a fault in the development of lymph vessels.
