Abstract This article reviews the various aspects of non-immune hydrops fetalis, including the historical background, aetiology, clinical presentation, antenatal diagnosis and perinatal management, as well as presenting some data on cases of non-immune [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Fever of Unknown Origin

  We conclude, that listeriosis should be excluded, whenever a non-immune hydrops fetalis is associated with septicemia, influenza-like illness and fever of unknown origin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Single Transverse Palmar Crease

  At birth, both individuals were noted to have marked edema of the entire body, slightly low set ears, small nose, mild micrognathia, small chest, camptodactyly, single transverse palmar creases, rhizomelic shortening of the upper extremities, slight ankle [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Extensive clinical workup is required to attempt to identify the specific etiology. In patients in whom NIHF is suspected, the search for a cause starts with a maternal evaluation. [slideshare.net]

• Liver Biopsy

  In ascites fluid foamy macrophages were found, in a liver biopsy cytoplasmic inclusions and membrane-bound vacuoles were seen. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The survival rate in the intrauterine treatment group was higher than in the nontreatment group (treatment group: 10/15; non-treatment group: 5/34, p < 0.001). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Brief Summary: Based on multi-center clinical research resources, a large-scale prospective cohort study will be conduted to make a more accurate diagnosis and intervention plan of Non-immune fetal hydrops (NIFH), and then establish NIFH accurate treatment [clinicaltrials.gov]

Treatment Your doctors will try to identify the underlying cause of fetal hydrops. Certain conditions can be treated prenatally. [women.texaschildrens.org]

AIM: The prognosis for non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is still poor despite progress in perinatal care. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis and Outcomes: The prognosis depends on etiology, response to therapy if treatable, and on the gestational age at detection and delivery. [smfm.org]

The gestational age at diagnosis, etiology, perinatal outcome, and 1-year outcome were recorded, and their associations assessed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

First, we performed epidemiological studies to determine the critical period during which maternal infection led to hydrops fetalis. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

Summary Epidemiology The prevalence of NIHF is unknown as it is difficult to obtain when many cases are not diagnosed before intrauterine death or may spontaneously resolve antenatally. Currently, NIHF constitutes up to 90% of all HF cases. [orpha.net]

The exact pathophysiology is still poorly understood. It is important to detect NIHF early, diagnose the underlying cause and institute appropriate treatment. There is need for autopsy of all fetuses or neonates who die from NIHF. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
