Fetal primary hydrothorax with spontaneous resolution

Fetal primary hydrothorax with spontaneous resolution

Fetal primary hydrothorax is a rare congenital anomaly with an estimated incidence of 1:10.000-15.000 pregnancies, with an unpredictable clinical course, ranging from spontaneous resolution to fetal death. We present a case of a unilateral fetal pleural effusion identified at 35th gestational week. A 37 year-old woman (G2P1) presented to our routine term pregnancy evaluation. The pregnancy had ...

Traumatic Supratrochlear Artery Pseudoaneurysm With Spontaneous Resolution

Background: Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the supratrochlear artery is a rare lesion. It manifests, as a painless mass, in the frontal region following trauma. The unusual incidence and confusing presentation require the clinicians to thoroughly understand its presentation and diagnosis. Diagnosis is typically made on history and physical examination, but it can be confirmed by duplex ultraso...

Spontaneous Resolution of a Fetal Dural Sinus Thrombosis: One Case Report and Review of the Literatures

Spontaneous neutrocytic hepatic hydrothorax without ascites.

Pleural effusion occurs infrequently in patients with cirrhosis of the liver, almost always in the presence of clinically obvious ascites. Although the mechanism of fluid transfer into the thorax is controversial, the main factor seems to be the presence of defects in the membranous parts of the diaphragm. This is usually on the right side. Subsequent infection of the pleural fluid is believed ...

Spontaneous resolution of fetal and neonatal ascites after birth.

Fetal ascites is an uncommon abnormality usually reported in relation to non- immunological causes. The prospect for fetal and neonatal mortality is high, particularly when the ascites develops before 24 weeks of gestation. The diminution of severe fetal ascites without intrauterine management, especially with an uncomplicated neonatal outcome, is unusual. We report a case of isolated fetal asc...
