hydrops

More than 90% of fetuses that do not have hydrops survive.

Fetal hydrops can be a cause, or conversely a complication.

During his travel to Italy he fell ill with hydrops and soon returned to Poland.

Ultrasound shows evidence of fetal hydrops, such as swollen tissues and organs.

About 75% of fetuses that have hydrops survive.

The non-immune form of hydrops fetalis has many causes including:

Even in the face of an obvious maternal infection, most fetuses do not develop hydrops fetalis.

Sometimes this is lethal for the fetus; in these cases it is called hydrops fetalis.

This disease can be extremely debilitating for the patient or can result in hydrops fetalis prior to birth.

If non-immune hydrops fetalis develop, there is a near universal mortality of the fetus without intervention.

It describes the unusual association of fetal and placental hydrops with maternal preeclampsia.

The name "mirror syndrome" refers to the similarity between maternal oedema and fetal hydrops.

Fetal hydrops suggests the presence of an important and probably fatal fetal pathology.

It is associated with dilation of the membranous labyrinth (endolymphatic hydrops) in the ear.

The abdomen is enlarged, and excess fluid may build up in the body before birth (a condition called hydrops fetalis).

Although historically least studied, renewed interest has surfaced due to its changes reported in cases of endolymphatic hydrops or meniere's disease.

Cystic hygroma can be associated with a nuchal lymphangioma or a fetal hydrops.

Rarely, fetal hydrops may develop.

The result is destruction of the foetus's red blood cells, which may result in a condition called hydrops fetalis and stillbirth.

This gives rise to local vasodilation and increased permeability, which helps to reverse the underlying problem of endolymphatic hydrops.

This is called "hydrops."

In pregnant women, infection in the first trimester has been linked to hydrops fetalis, causing spontaneous miscarriage.

In this situation, a fetus will develop hydrops fetalis and normally die before or shortly after birth, unless intrauterine blood transfusion is performed.

An example is congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation with hydrops; impending heart failure may require a preterm delivery.

A condition where the volume of the endolymph is greatly enlarged is called endolymphatic hydrops and has been linked to Ménière's disease.
