Non-Immune Hydrops Fetalis: Do Placentomegaly and Polyhydramnios Matter? [PDF]
J Ultrasound Med, 2018 ObjectivesPolyhydramnios and placentomegaly are commonly observed in nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF); however, whether their ultrasonographic identification is relevant for prognosis is controversial. We evaluated outcomes of fetal or neonatal death and preterm birth (PTB) in cases of NIHF alone and in those with polyhydramnios and/or placentomegaly ...
