UNASSIGNED
The aim of this study was to describe the clinical and pathological findings of acute bovine pulmonary edema and emphysema (ABPEE) and left endocardial fibroelastosis in an adult dairy cow. In addition, a review of recent literature of these two conditions is provided.

Necropsy
The case of a baby born with severe nonimmune hydrops fetalis in whom endocardial fibroelastosis was a late finding is reported. Left ventricular dimensions and systolic function were normal at presentation. After recovery from the hydrops, at 2 months of age, a dilated, poorly contracting left
Endocardial fibroelastosis, defined as an endocardium in excess of 30 microns thick, was found in 10 out of 34 cases of hydrops fetalis in a review of 1589 perinatal necropsies carried out between 1976 and 1989. The infants comprised 16 cases of rhesus haemolytic disease, of whom three had
Endocardial fibroelastosis is an important cause of congestive heart failure and death in infancy and early childhood. When present, it is commonly associated with non immune hydrops fetalis. The aim of this study is to draw attention for possible cardiac abnormalities in cases of fetal hydrops, and
We report on an infant with bilateral ulnar agenesis, radial hypoplasia, oligodactyly, hydrops fetalis, and endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE). The presence of the 2 major malformations and parental consanguinity suggests the possibility of a new autosomal recessive MCA syndrome.
BACKGROUND
Two fetuses with endocardial fibroelastosis, one with critical aortic stenosis and one with high-output cardiac failure due to chorioangiomatosis, are presented to evaluate the correlation between Doppler echocardiographic findings, the fetal clinical condition and the anatomical
In a case of fetal heart failure caused by endocardial fibroelastosis, prenatal echocardiography clearly demonstrated a thickened endocardium. We therefore suggest that an abnormal endocardium may be detected in utero by ultrasound, thus representing an important clue in the differential diagnosis
In 11 of 21 fetuses with prenatally diagnosed complete heart block, congestive heart failure with signs of non-immune hydrops fetalis was seen. In all 11 fetuses, cardiac malformations were present: complete atrioventricular canal with levocardia, situs inversus viscerum, and polysplenia: 5 cases;
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
We describe a premature neonate with endocardial fibrosis associated with hydrops fetalis. The infant did not have any other cardiac disorder and expired with congestive heart failure when five days old. Endocardial fibroelastosis has been previously described in neonates but is rare and is usually
The endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) is the most frequent cardiomyopathy. This disease is characterised by endocardial hyperplasia due to proliferation of elastic and collagenous fibres. There are primary and secondary forms. Within the primary form, the infantile form is the most frequent and of
Congenital aortic stenosis is a rare cause of congestive heart failure and hydrops fetalis. This report describes a case of prenatally diagnosed critical aortic stenosis and endocardial fibroelastosis leading to a severe hydrops fetalis at 27 weeks of gestation. Successful transplacental
Ten cases of hydrops fetalis not associated with serologic incompatibility between mother and infant were studied by autopsy. Classic trisomy 21 was present in two, and in six others the postmortem examination revealed major congenital abnormalities (hydrometrocolpos-polydactyly syndrome,
