Background:
Mirror syndrome, a rare condition characterized by maternal anasarca in a pregnancy complicated by fetal hydrops, may have a devastating fetal outcome and significant maternal morbidity.
Case:
We report a case of mirror syndrome caused by parvovirus B19 infection, which resolved spontaneously with good fetal and maternal outcome.
Conclusion:
The pathogenesis of mirror syndrome is not understood. The trigger for mirror syndrome may be derived from a compromised fetus or placenta.
