Non-Immune Hydrops Fetalis: Do Placentomegaly and Polyhydramnios Matter?

Recurrent Non Immune Hydrops Fetalis with Polyhydramnios: a Case Report

Recurrent non-immune fetal hydrops (NIH) has been reported in the literature but it’s a very rare entity. It has been postulated to be related to a recessive gene. We report a case of recurrent non immune fetal hydrops in a multigravida with no medical history of note.

Non-immune hydrops fetalis

Non immune hydrops fetalis.

With the decline in the frequency of rhesus isoimmunisation, hydrops fetalis secondary to other factors is becoming increasingly recognised. We describe a case in association with chorioangioma of the placenta. The causes of non immune hydrops are reviewed and the problems of management discussed.

Human parvovirus B19 associated non-immune hydrops fetalis.

Non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) in a relatively rare syndrome associated with different etiologies, usually due to chromosomal aberrations or cardiac anomalies. Human parvovirus B 19 (HPV B 19) associated intrauterine infections. NIHF and fetal loss have been reported lately. HPV B19 passes through the placenta and infects eiythroid progenitor cells with subsequent lysis, anemia and hydrops. ...
