We report on 3 consecutive sib fetuses, presenting at 13, 12, and 13 weeks of gestation, respectively, with fetal hydrops, limb contractures, and akinesia. Autopsy of the first fetus showed subcutaneous fluid collections and severe degeneration of skeletal muscle. Histologic studies demonstrated
A report is given on a premature stillborn with severe congenital spinal muscular atrophy, arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and hydrops fetalis. During delivery the head was spontaneously pulled off. The neuromuscular disease was the cause of this unusual complication. No alterations of
The distribution of lipid in the fetal adrenal cortex is reported to correlate with the duration of hypoxia and degree of fetal stress. The original studies were based on Oil Red O staining, requiring frozen tissue that is often not available. To investigate the reliability of these observations,
BACKGROUND
Giant placental chorioangiomas have been associated with a number of severe fetal complications and high perinatal mortality.
METHODS
We report a case of giant chorioangioma with fetal hydrops, additionally complicated by severe anemia, mild cardiomegaly with hyperdinamic heart
Two cases of beta-glucuronidase deficiency (mucopolysaccharidosis VII), presented with fetal hydrops at 20 and 26 weeks of gestation. The enzyme deficiency was observed in cultured amniotic fluid cells and in fetal plasma from cord-blood and was confirmed after termination of pregnancy. A third case
BACKGROUND
Fetal hydrops caused by anemia from parvovirus B19 infection (FH-B19) is rare. Doppler measurement of the middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity (PSV-MCA) improves its prenatal diagnosis, but its frequency and prognosis are still poorly known. Despite improved survival due to in
We report on a female preterm infant of 29 weeks' gestation with severe hydrops fetalis who died 3 days post natum as a result of disseminated intravascular coagulation. Autopsy findings included anasarca, bilateral pleural effusions, ascites and hepatosplenomegaly as well as multiple, up to pinhead
Thirty cases of hydrops fetalis were reviewed in the obstetrics hospital No. 2 of the Social Security, and were treated in the isoimmunization clinic. Important data were obtained from the analysis, the most outstanding was the fact that both the mother with previous pregnancies and incompatible Rh
During a large outbreak of erythema infectiosum in 1987 in Toyama prefecture, Japan, a 32-year-old woman acquired a mild rash on her arms and legs at 18 weeks of gestation. At 26 weeks and 4 days of gestation, the fetus died by hydrops fetalis and pregnancy was terminated. Histological studies of
Prenatal diagnosis of generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI) (OMIM #208000) is difficult and rare. There are various known gene mutations in ENPP1 (ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1) locus 6q22-q23. We present a case of suspected intrauterine diagnosis at 29 weeks of
Fetal hydrops associated with neonatal tumours is an uncommon occurrence. The diagnosis can be established prenatally by ultrasound examination. The treatment of choice is surgery which may be curative. We report the case of a male born at 32 weeks gestation who presented with severe hydrops fetalis
The authors report a case of unsuspected fetal storage disorder initially diagnosed by placental examination performed because of a transient ascites at 28 weeks of gestation. At birth mild dysmorphic features and gradual neurological deterioration were observed. Highly elevated alkaline phosphatase
We report a new case of GM1-gangliosidosis diagnosed in a 5 months old baby who was admitted at birth to our Neonatology Unit because of congenital ascites. The antenatal diagnostic techniques, including ultrasound, maternal antibody screen and fetoscopy with fetal karyotyping, as well as postnatal
Multiple sulfatase deficiency (MSD) is an ultra-rare lysosomal storage disorder (LSD). Mutations in the SUMF1 gene encoding the formylglycine generating enzyme (FGE) result in an unstable FGE protein with reduced enzymatic activity, thereby affecting the posttranslational activation of newly
We report a case of a preterm infant with congenital syphilis who presented with non-immune hydrops fetalis. Hepatic dysfunction was present at birth and acutely worsened following antibiotic administration. Placental pathology demonstrated infiltration with numerous spirochetes. Although critically
