| Abstract: | An 8-year (1975-1982) study of 26 cases of nonimmune fetal hydrops revealed the main causes to be: anomalies (11/26), tachyarrhythmias (4/26), and twin-to-twin transfusion (4/26). The perinatal mortality was 19/26 (76%). Based on this series, and a review of the literature, a plan for the antenatal diagnosis and management of these cases is outlined. |
