Nonimmune idiopathic hydrops fetalis and congenital lymphatic dysplasia (original) (raw)

Nonimmune idiopathic hydrops fetalis is a condition characterized by excessive fluid accumulation in the fetal compartments without an identifiable immune cause. The study investigates a series of cases where neonates exhibited this condition and identified congenital lymphatic dysplasia as a possible underlying explanation for the hydrops in these patients. A comprehensive evaluation of clinical characteristics and investigations was conducted, contributing to the understanding that lymphatic dysplasia may play a role in unexplained cases of hydrops fetalis.
