Nonimmune fetal ascites: A series of 79 cases

The purpose of this study was to analyze the precision of ultrasonography in defining the cause and prognosis in fetal ascites. We conducted a retrospective study of 79 cases of fetal ascites. The mortality rate was 57% overall and ranged from 100% (7/7 cases) for metabolic storage disease to 0% (0/...

Zusammenfassung:	The purpose of this study was to analyze the precision of ultrasonography in defining the cause and prognosis in fetal ascites. We conducted a retrospective study of 79 cases of fetal ascites. The mortality rate was 57% overall and ranged from 100% (7/7 cases) for metabolic storage disease to 0% (0/3 cases) in chylous ascites. Ascites before 24 weeks of gestation or combined with fetal hydrops indicates poor prognosis (respectively, 78.6% vs 45% mortality rate after 24 weeks; P
