INTRODUCTION Recurrent non-immune fetal hydrops (NIH) has been reported in the literature but is a rare entity, with fewer than 6 reported cases so far. It has been postulated to be related to a recessive gene. CLINICAL PICTURE We report a case of recurrent fetal hydrops in a multigravida with no medical history of note. She presented in her current pregnancy with a significant history of hav...

Hydrops fetalis. M. J. Becker. Department of Morbid Anatomy, Wilhelmina Gasthuis, Amsterdam. Hydrops fetalis is characterized by an abnormal accumulation of serous fluid in the tissues and body cavities, and infants who show this condition are usually either stillborn or die soon after birth. Hydrops fetalis is not a symptom of a specific disorder, but can be caused by various diseases. In a se...

Hydrops foetalis is defined as a state of excessive fluid accumulation in the extravascular compartment of the foetus, leading to widespread soft tissue oedema and/or accumulation of fluid in the foetal body cavities. The prognosis of hydrops foetalis is highly dependent on the underlying pathology and early diagnosis is essential to identify treatable cases. The classification of immune and no...

HYPOTHESIS Triple semicircular canal occlusion will eliminate rotatory stimulation to the vestibular peripheral system (as it blocks endolymphatic fluid movement) and therefore release rotatory vertigo attack. This surgery is safe in ears with endolymphatic hydrops. BACKGROUND Semicircular canal occlusion has been used as an alternative treatment of intractable benign paroxysmal positional ve...

Magnetic resonance imaging enhances the clinical diagnosis of Menière's disease. This is accomplished by in vivo detection of endolymphatic hydrops, which are graded using different semi-quantitative grading systems. We evaluated an established, semi-quantitative endolymphatic hydrops score and with a quantitative method for volumetric assessment of the endolymphatic size. 11 patients with Meni...

introduction hydrops fetalis is a serious condition in fetal period, characterized by the presence of serous fluid accumulation in at least two potential spaces in fetus including pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, and ascites. the incidence of hydrops fetalis is one per 2500-3000 pregnancies. this condition is followed by different diseases. fetal hemolytic anemia and its hypoxemia due to...

Hydrops conditions of the placenta in the mare are uncommon, with hydrops allantois being reported more frequently than hydrops amnion. The condition in the mare usually develops during the last trimester of pregnancy and is characterized by the excessive accumulation of allantoic (hydrops allantois) or amnionic fluid (hydrops amnion). The sequelae of unnoticed or untreated hydrops allantois/ a...

Five hundred and thirty cases of spring catarrh were studied at the Department of Ophthalmology, Khyber Hospital Peshawar, Pakistan. Corneal complications occurred in 259 patients, of which 48 cases were of keratoconus, consisting of 41 male and seven female patients. Most of the patients affected (37) were between the ages of 10 and 30 years. Six patients developed acute hydrops, which in one ...
