Hydrops Fetalis due to Direct Hepatic Compression of the Right Atrium in a Newborn with Right Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

Right sided Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) has been previously associated with venous or lymphatic obstruction of vessels by the herniated liver. We report an unusual case of direct cardiac atrial compression by the liver causing limitation of preload and resultant fetal non-immune hydrops fetalis.
