Hydrops fetalis describes the fetus with generalized subcutaneous edema and fluid collections in some or all serous cavities. 80% of the causes of hydrops are non-immune. The most common associated diagnosis reported by Matthew E. Abrams et al., in 2007, were congenital heart problems (13.7%), abnormalities in heart rate (10.4%), twin-to-twin transfusion (9%), congenital anomalies (8.7%), chromosomal abnormalities (7.5%), congenital viral infections (6.7%), congenital 3 anemia (5%), and congenital chylothorax (3.2%). The diagnosis is based on the presence of a minimum of two fluid collections in serous cavities such as pericardium or pleural space; polihydramnios and placental edema can also be found through ultrasonographic study.
