  • Title: Nonimmune hydrops fetalis secondary to premature closure of the foramen ovale.
    Author: Coulson CC, Kuller JA.
    Journal: Am J Perinatol; 1994 Nov; 11(6):439-40. PubMed ID: 7857440.
    Abstract:
    Premature closure of the foramen ovale is a rare cardiac anomaly. Severe right-sided heart failure accounts for the hepatomegaly, ascites, pleural and pericardial effusions, and generalized edema of these hydropic fetuses. Premature closure of the foramen ovale should be a part of the differential diagnosis when unexplained fetal hydrops is encountered.
