fetal hydrops

Fetal hydrops can be a cause, or conversely a complication.

Ultrasound shows evidence of fetal hydrops, such as swollen tissues and organs.

The name "mirror syndrome" refers to the similarity between maternal oedema and fetal hydrops.

Fetal hydrops suggests the presence of an important and probably fatal fetal pathology.

Cystic hygroma can be associated with a nuchal lymphangioma or a fetal hydrops.

Rarely, fetal hydrops may develop.

Ultrasonography demonstrated fetal hydrops, diaphragmatic hernia, and striking dilatation of the cerebral ventricles in both infants.

Stage IV: In addition to all of the above findings, the recipient twin has swelling under the skin and appears to be experiencing heart failure (fetal hydrops).

In addition to the diaphragmatic defects and distal limb anomalies, they presented with fetal hydrops, cystic hygroma, and multiple pterygias.

Some anomalies, like fetal hydrops, relate to the current condition of the fetus while others, like cardiovascular abnormalities, are of considerable importance in predicting the future condition of the fetus.

It seems much more likely that an etiology of severe fetal hydrops may cause Ballantyne syndrome when the fetal status greatly worsens and that the syndrome is only a manifestation of the extreme severity of the fetus-placental pathology.

Apgar also promoted effective use of Rh testing, which can identify women who are at risk for transmission of maternal antibodies across the placenta where they may subsequently bind with and destroy fetal red blood cells, resulting in fetal hydrops or even miscarriage.
