Abstract:
Hydrops describes the infant who has generalized edema due to accumulation of excess fluid. In severe case, massive edema with ascites and pleural and pericardial effusions are commonly combined. The main etiology of hydrops fetalis has been changed from immune type which is caused by fetomaternal blood group incompatibility to nonimmune type. Although cardiovascular diseases are the most common (23% to 38%) causes for nonimmune hydrops fetalis, fetal tumors still compromise 5% to 7% of the diseases. We report a case of nonimmune hydrops fetalis due to intraperitoneal hemangioma. The newborn infant was managed surgically and had excellent outcome.
