Hydrops Fetalis: Recent Advances
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1997Hydrops fetalis is a morbid condition caused by a wide variety of fetal, placental, and maternal diseases. Mortality is high and depends on the gestational age at the time of occurrence and underlying etiology. Although the condition was described more than 300 years ago, recent advances in obstetric ultrasound, prenatal diagnostics have made it ...

Hydrops Fetalis and Congenital Syphilis
Pediatrics, 1972Hydrops fetalis is associated most commonly with erythroblastosis fetalis due to fetal-maternal incompatibility of the red cell Rh antigens. Many nonimmunologic disorders, including infections, homozygous alpha thalassemia, maternal diabetes mellitus, fetal malformations, the twin transfusion syndrome, and congenital nephrosis, may cause a similar ...

Hydrops Fetalis with Alpha Thalassemia
New England Journal of Medicine, 1967HYDROPS fetalis associated with hemoglobin Barts is believed to represent the homozygous state of α thalassemia. Ten cases occurring in Chinese families in Indonesia, Malaya and Hong Kong, 1 in a Greek Cypriot family and 1 in a Filipino family, have been described.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Recently, several more cases have been seen among Chinese in Hong Kong.8 We

Hydrops fetalis and pulmonary sequestration
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1996The development of fetal hydrops in conjunction with intrathoracic pathology has been described, but rarely in association with pulmonary sequestration. The current report presents three cases of antenatally identified nonimmune hydrops fetalis, seen in association with pulmonary sequestrations.

Hydrops fetalis: Role of the geneticist
Seminars in Perinatology, 1995The causes of hydrops fetalis are myriad. As a result of the advent of routine Rh screening, most cases are not currently related to Rh incompatibility. Genetic, metabolic, chromosomal, and syndromic causes are among the most frequently identified causes of nonimmune hydrops. The importance of determining the underlying cause of hydrops becomes evident

Infectious causes of hydrops fetalis
Seminars in Perinatology, 1995A variety of infectious agents have been associated with nonimmune hydrops fetalis, most notably parvovirus B19, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, Toxoplasma gondii, and Treponema pallidum. These agents produce hydrops through effects on fetal bone marrow, myocardium, or vascular endothelium.

Erythroblastosis Fetalis and Hydrops Fetalis
2012Erythroblastosis fetalis, or hemolytic disease of the newborn, is a condition caused by specific antibodies of the mother, directed against red cell antigens of the fetus. These are largely Rh-(D) antigens, but rare cases of sensitization against other antigens (e.g., Kell), and of ABO incompatibility with fetal hemolytic disease have been described ...

Etiology and outcome of hydrops fetalis
Journal of Maternal-Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2001To identify the etiology and pregnancy outcome of hydrops fetalis in a cohort of pregnancies referred to a tertiary maternal fetal medicine center in the UK. These data allow the review of a large series of pregnancies affected by hydrops fetalis and emphasize the importance of investigation and then treatment of individual cases. This provides parents

Differential diagnosis of hydrops fetalis
American Journal of Medical Genetics, 1981AbstractApart from isoimmunization, a number of conditions may present as hydrops fetalis and now account for a large proportion of hydropic infants. A large differential diagnosis must be considered when investigating the hydropic fetus and placenta while in utero, in the neonatal period, and at autopsy. An investigative protocol is proposed.
