hidrops fetal

INTRODUCTION: Hydrops fetalis (HF) is a rare condition with a high mortality. This study analysed the obstetric and perinatal outcomes of antenatally diagnosed HF according to its aetiology and the possibility of intrauterine treatment (IUT). PATIENTS AND METHODS: We carried out a retrospective review of the health records of 164 pregnant women with a prenatal diagnosis of HF in a tertiary care centre between 2011-2021. We analysed prenatal interventions, clinical findings, aetiologies and obstetric and live-born infant outcomes...

OBJECTIVE: To report four cases of hydrops fetalis secondary to congenital syphilis and carry out a review of the literature to answer the question, What is the antibiotic regimen used in cases of gestational syphilis with hydrops fetalis as a complication? MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four cases of congenital syphilis with hydrops fetalis are presented. Maternal age ranged between 17 and 28 years, gestational age at the time of diagnosis varied between 25 and 30 weeks, and two of the mothers had not initiated prenatal care at that time...

PURPOSE: (PD), possibility of regresion and hidden mortality are open questions in congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) treatment. METHODS: Children with CCAM were reviewed focused on: PD, postnatal diagnosis, clinic, radiology, histology and evolution. RESULTS: Seventeen fetus had PD of CCAM. Five gestations were electively finished (41%) with PD of CCAM previous to 20th week, 3/5 (60%) were type III and 2/5 (40%) type I; 4/5 (80%) presented mediastinal shift and 1/5 (20%) hidrops...

A healthy pregnant was referred at 34 weeks gestation because an obstetrical ultrasound examination had shown fetal bradycardia and nonimmune hydrops. The heart was anatomically normal but complete heart block was present with a ventricular rate of 22bpm and atrial of 101bpm. We injected isoproterenol by cordocentesis direct in the umbilical vein of the fetus and a significant increase into the ventricular and atrial rates were obtained. The direct therapy with sympathomimetic drugs is a simple technique and may save fetuses with complete heart block and hidrops...
