Abstract:
Nonimmune hydrops fetalis(NIHF) is a heterogenous disorder resulting from a vast number of underlying pathologies. Chromsomal abnormalities underlie a large percentage of cases of NIHF in most series. There are many reports identifying the association of Turner syndrome and Trisomy 21, 18, 13 with NIHF, but few reports about Klinefelter syndrome. In this article, we experienced a case of Klinefelter syndrome combined with hydrops fetalis and report the case with brief review of literature.
