hydrops fetalis/dental caries

BACKGROUND Persistent foetal tachyarrythmias complicated by hydrops fetalis carry a poor prognosis, with foetal death reported in excess of a quarter despite treatment. We present our experience with direct intraperitoneal amiodarone administration in eight hydropic foetuses with resistant

Non-immune factors are the most common cause of hydrops fetalis, which may manifest as abnormal accumulation of fluid in the body cavities. Hydrops fetalis is a complex condition with a high mortality rate. The prognosis is depending on the underlying disease and is particularly poor in those with

Sixteen ovine fetuses underwent either ligation or excision of the left thoracic, left cervical, and left brachiocephalic lymphatic ducts. Our purpose was to test the hypothesis that interruption of lymphatic flow would lead to hydropic changes in the ovine fetus. Of the 11 animals in the group that

OBJECTIVE Nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is defined by the excessive fluid accumulation in more than one foetal compartments and body cavities because of nonimmune reasons. It has been described that 14 lysosomal diseases may be causative of NIHF. The aim of this study was to design a fast

We report 2 cases of non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) in which autopsy findings revealed an association with right-sided congenital diaphragmatic eventration (CDE). Both patients born at 30 weeks of gestation presented with severe generalized skin oedema, pleural effusions and ascites. They both

OBJECTIVE To report a case of EEC syndrome with a large nephrogenic cyst detected by prenatal ultrasonography. METHODS Prenatal ultrasonographic detection, genetic counselling, termination of pregnancy, radiographic study, autopsy and ultrastructural study of scalp hair. The literature on EEC

The cytologic changes in the smears of fetus ascites fluid with parvovirus B19 infections are described. Cytology revealed the ground-glass appearance of the nuclei having a perinuclear halo, and the nuclear chromatin was spread as a thin rim around the inclusion. Subsequently, monoclonal antibodies

Genitourinary tract malformations causing hydrops fetalis are rare. The authors report a case of a female delivered at 32 weeks gestational age following a prenatal diagnosis of an abdominopelvic cystic mass with hydrops fetalis. The neonate was persistently hypoxic with unstable cardiovascular

Hydrops fetalis is a rare manifestation of severe congestive heart failure in a fetus, resulting in pathological fluid accumulation in fetal soft tissues and/or serous cavities. Non-compaction of the ventricular myocardium, frequently referred to as the left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC), is a

Pure fetal blood samples, obtained fetoscopically from 30 patients with unexplained fetal hydrops at 16 to 32 weeks gestation were investigated for cytogenetic, haematological, biochemical and virological properties. In two patients with oligohydramnios, the fetoscope was introduced transabdominally

A case of upper gastrointestinal dilatation associated with fluid collection in the peritoneal cavity is reported where the prenatal diagnosis was made sonographically in a non-immunologic hydrops fetalis. Neither generalized edema nor pleural effusion were detected. Polyhydramnios was complicated.

The management of fetal hydrops in the second trimester is changing as the underlying etiologies are better understood. We report a case which was diagnosed at 18 weeks gestation. There was no underlying anatomical abnormality. Fetal blood sampling confirmed a normal karyotype and there was no

Nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) or generalized soft tissue edema and cavity effusions may be due to cardiovascular diseases, congenital infections, genitourinary malformations, thoracic masses, placental conditions, chromosomal abnormalities, and idiopathic. We report 32 cases of NIHF from among

Non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) has become more common than immune hydrops fetalis as a cause of fetal hydrops and its contribution to the total perinatal mortality rate has increased from 0.1% to 3.0% for the 10 years to 1979. A case is reported where an antenatal ultrasonograph performed within
