BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Endolymphatic hydrops has been recognized as the underlying pathophysiology of Menière disease. We used 3T MR imaging to detect and grade endolymphatic hydrops in patients with Menière disease and to correlate MR imaging findings with the clinical severity. MATERIALS AND METHODS MR images of the inner ear acquired by a 3D inversion recovery sequence 4 hours after intrav...

Backround: The term “hydrops fetalis” refers to excessive accumulation of pathologic serous fluid within the fetal soft tissues and body cavities. There are two categories, immune nonimmune hydrops (NIHF). Currently 90 percent cases nonimmune, because decrease incidence with advent anti-D globulin. Case presentation: We present a case Parvovirus B19 (PB19) infection that resulted in NIHF. Fetus...

PURPOSE To present the authors' long-term experience of radial keratotomy (RK) for the optical rehabilitation of patients with mild to moderate keratoconus--central corneal thickness of greater than 400 microm and without apical scarring. METHODS In this observational, noncomparative series of cases, all consecutive patients with mild or moderate keratoconus, treated by RK between 1990 and 20...

UNLABELLED Hydrops fetalis is a serious condition which indicates poor prognosis for the affected fetus. Although the incidence of isoimmune hydrops fetalis has decreased markedly, nonimmune hydrops fetalis cases have been more frequently reported. Nonimmune-mediated hydrops can be caused by hemoglobinopathies. In this report we present a case of nonimmune hydrops fetalis caused by homozygous α...

Introduction Hydrops Fetalis is a serious condition in fetal period, characterized by the presence of serous fluid accumulation in at least two potential spaces in fetus including pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, and ascites. The incidence of hydrops fetalis is one per 2500-3000 pregnancies. This condition is followed by different diseases. Fetal hemolytic anemia and its hypoxemia due to...

Hydrops fetalis associated with ABO incompatibility is an extremely rare condition. We report twin infants both afflicted with significant ABO hemolytic disease but showing different degrees of clinical severity, in which fatal hydrops developed in one of the twins. Hemolysis due to ABO incompatibility is usually difficult to diagnose. All causes of non-immune hydrops should be ruled out in ord...

<p>Intra-Uterine Fetal Demise (IUFD) is defined as death of human conception at age 20 weeks’ gestation or older with a minimum 500-g birthweight before complete delivery from the mother and induced termination involved. In 2015, Indonesia has contributed stillbirth rate 13 out 1,000 total births in which 17.1% cases were caused by congenital anomalies. Hydrops pathological condition ther...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to identify the incidence of endolymphatic hydrops using 3-dimensional fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (3D-FLAIR) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the contralateral ear in patients with unilateral Ménière's disease (MD). MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a prospective study. 3D-FLAIR MRI was performed with a 3 Tesla (3 T) unit 24 h after the intratympan...

Hydrops fetalis is defined by the accumulation of fluids in serous membranes (pleurisy, ascites, pericarditis...), it a rare condition; its etiologies are divided into immunological and non-immunological. Supraventricular tachycardia remains known cause, non-immunological, but difficult to manage.
 In this article we report case newborn with hydrops secondary supraventricular tachycardia, ...

Introduction: Fetal hydrops is a serious condition which can be caused by immune and non-immune aetiologies. We aimed to review the management of fetal hydrops at our hospital. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of all cases of fetal hydrops diagnosed in our institution from 2006 to 2013 was carried out. Results: Out of the 30 cases of fetal hydrops diagnosed antenatally, 17 were cas...
