Chronic massive fetomaternal hemorrhage: a case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of massive chronic fetomaternal hemorrhage with remarkable fetal compensation. The labor course was complicated by a fetal heart rate pattern showing decreased long- and short-term variability and the eventual development of persistent late decelerations. The fetal scalp blood pH and cord blood pH values were normal. A living male infant was delivered by cesarean section for persistent late decelerations. A Kleihauer-Betke stain on a maternal blood sample was positive at 14.5%, which is equivalent to 700 mL of fetal blood in the maternal circulation.

متن کاملPrenatal diagnosis of acute massive fetomaternal hemorrhage.
We present here 2 cases of acute and 2 cases of chronic massive fetomaternal hemorrhage. A sinusoidal fetal heart rate pattern may indicate chronic fetomaternal hemorrhage, but, when increased variability is observed in fetal monitoring, maternal hemoglobin F should be measured to exclude acute fetomaternal hemorrhage.

BACKGROUND Fetomaternal hemorrhage is a rare cause of fetal anemia and hydrops fetalis. Early and severe fetomaternal hemorrhage may benefit from in utero transfusion(s); however, hemorrhage rate is unpredictable, and reliable criteria are needed to identify recurrent anemia. CASE Fetal hydrops due to massive fetomaternal hemorrhage was diagnosed at 29 weeks. After the first in utero transfus...
متن کاملFetomaternal Hemorrhage: A Review after a Case Report
Fetomaternal hemorrhage consists in the transmission of fetal blood cells to the mother’s bloodstream. If it is quite common in small volumes – occurring in most pregnancies – large volumes of fetomaternal hemorrhage can have serious consequences. Some risk factors are identified, but they are not always present. Decreased perception of fetal movements is the most important clinical sign, toget...
متن کاملFetomaternal transfusion as a cause of severe fetal anemia causing early neonatal death: a case report.
Fetomaternal hemorrhage refers to the entry of fetal blood into the maternal circulation before or during delivery. Very small amount of fetal red cells are normally detectable in all pregnancies. Massive fetomaternal bleed is very rare and even rarer is the resultant severe anemia causing early neonatal death, despite an uneventful normal pregnancy until the end. Antenatal fetomaternal hemorrh...
