Abstract

Abstract Hydrops fetalis (HF) is a serious fetal condition characterized by abnormal accumulation of fluid in fetal soft tissues and serous cavities. HF can be immune hydrops fetalis (IHF) or nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) depending upon the presence of antibodies in the mother. We report a case of euploid NIHF who delivered at 34 weeks and had spontaneous recovery. The baby had gross fetal ascites and mild pleural and pericardial effusion. After a thorough workup, no definite cause could be found. However, the ascites spontaneously resolved. The baby had many peaks and valleys during the initial 3 months of life, doing well at 6 months of age and is under follow-up. This case report highlights the practical workup and diagnostic algorithm of NIHF and provides an updated review.

非免疫性胎儿水肿的病程、预后及家长的握手——附一例报告及简要回顾

摘要胎儿水肿（HF）是一种严重的胎儿疾病，其特征是胎儿软组织和浆液腔中液体异常积聚。HF可以是免疫性胎儿水肿（IHF）或非免疫性胎儿积水（NIHF），这取决于母体中抗体的存在。我们报告了一例整倍体NIHF患者，他们在34周时分娩，并自发康复。婴儿有严重的胎儿腹水和轻度胸腔和心包积液。经过彻底的检查，找不到确切的原因。然而，腹水自行消退。婴儿在最初的3个月里经历了许多高峰和低谷，在6个月大时表现良好，目前正在随访中。本病例报告强调了NIHF的实际检查和诊断算法，并提供了最新的综述。
