Pathophysiology of hydrops fetalis
Hydrops fetalis occurs when the rate of interstitial fluid production by capillary ultrafiltration exceeds the rate of interstitial fluid return to the circulation via lymphatic vessels. Developmental differences in the microcirculation and lymphatic system of the fetus, as compared with mature subjects, renders the fetus susceptible to interstitial ...

ABSTRACT Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) remains a significant concern in prenatal care primarily caused by maternal alloimmunization against fetal red blood cell antigens, most commonly the D antigen. Noninvasive fetal RHD genotyping, used as a screening tool, enables targeted antenatal prophylaxis and has been implemented in several

Nonimmune Hydrops Fetalis and Early Skeletal Changes in Congenital Syphilis: Case Series and Review of Literature [PDF]
Aim and background: Syphilis remains the most common congenital infection in the world. During pregnancy, syphilis is associated with numerous findings, including placentomegaly, hepatomegaly, polyhydramnios, fetal nonimmune hemolytic anemia, and hydrops

Insights Into Congenital Lymphatic Anomalies Underlying Fetal Effusions
ABSTRACT Objective We describe a series of pregnancies with autosomal dominant lymphedema and generalized lymphatic dysplasia in the fetus diagnosed with prenatal exome or genome sequencing. We focus on specific syndromes, fetal features, and parental symptoms to deepen our understanding of congenital lymphatic anomalies.
