  • Title: Nonimmunologic hydrops fetalis.
    Author: Perlin BM, Pomerance JJ, Schifrin BS.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 1981 May; 57(5):584-8. PubMed ID: 7012719.
    Abstract:
    Eight cases of nonimmunologic hydrops fetalis (HF) were seen at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center over a 3.5-year period. The etiology of the HF included 2 cases of fetal-maternal hemorrhage and 1 each of sacral teratoma, tachyarrhythmia, diaphragmatic hernia, neuroblastoma, and heart disease. For 1 infant, the cause was never found. These cases involved various diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas. Only 4 were anticipated ant partum by ultrasound scanning. Two of the 8 fetuses died in utero, whereas 4 others died in the neonatal period. Earlier diagnosis and evaluation are likely to improve these outcomes.
