The Emerging Pattern Of Hydrops Fetalis - Incidence, aetiology and management

OBJECTIVES: To analyse the incidence, aetiology and management of live born cases of hydrops fetalis in a Regional Perinatal Centre. METHODS: We reviewed 35 cases of hydrops delivered over a six year period. RESULTS: Non-immune hydrops accounted for 80% of the cases and the majority of babies requir...

description OBJECTIVES: To analyse the incidence, aetiology and management of live born cases of hydrops fetalis in a Regional Perinatal Centre. METHODS: We reviewed 35 cases of hydrops delivered over a six year period. RESULTS: Non-immune hydrops accounted for 80% of the cases and the majority of babies required Level 1 intensive care. The mortality rate was 40%. CONCLUSION: The pattern of hydrops is changing. Most of these babies now have non-immune hydrops and approximately two thirds are surviving.
