Pulmonary vascular air embolism is a rare and, universally, almost a fatal complication of positive pressure ventilation in newborn infants. Here, we report a case of this unusual complication in a very-low-birth-weight infant who showed the clinical and radiological features of this complication along with pulmonary hypoplasia and massive hydrops. The possible pathogenesis has been discussed and a brief review...

Purpose : Congenital chylothorax is an accumulation of lymphatic fluid within the pleural space. It is a common cause of unidentified hydrops fetalis. We examined the perinatal history, clinical manifestation, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome in 6 newborns diagnosed to have congenital chylothorax with hydrops fetalis. We also studied the effect of octreotide therapy for congenital chylothorax in relation to conservative...

Isoimmune hemolytic disease of the newborn is a disease which is caused by maternal sensitization to one of the fetal blood factor. The authors experience a case of hydrops fetalis due to anti-E in 1-day male newborn. Antibody screening and antibody identification tests were made which revealed anti-E antibody.

Nonimmune hydrops fetalis is defined as a pathologic and generalized abnormal accumulation of serous fluid in the entire body tissues and cavities unassociated with erythroblastosis. After the licensing of Rh Immune Prophylaxis (1968), the incidence of classic erythroblastosis fetalis has declined dramatically but the proportion of nonimmune types has increased relatively. With increasing use of ultrasound as a part of routine obstetric care, fetal...
A Case of Nonimmunologic Hydrops Fetalis Associated with Down Syndrome.

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1990;33(2):205-211.   Published online February 28, 1990
We experienced a case of nonimmunologic hydrops fetalis associated with Down syndrome. The patient had generalized edema with severe scrotal swelling and abdominal distension. A roentgenogram showed bilateral pleural effusion and ascites. The chromosomal study revealed 21 trisomy. On autopsy, there were pleural fluid and ascites as well as pericardial fluid. Small ASD and incomplete lobation of the right lung were detected. Chromosomal abnormalities should always...

We have experienced a case of Hydrops Fetalis due to Rh-incompatibility in 1 day old female neonate. She showed generalized edema, apnea, cyanosis at birth. her mother, whose blood group and type are A and Rh( -), was multiparity. The first and the second baby were died at 4th day after birth. We treated this third baby with exchange transfusion. 0...
