Bilateral fetal hydrothorax, a serious condition causing fluid buildup in the chest, leads to poor outcomes like pulmonary hypoplasia. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial but often insufficient for survival.

Area of Science:

  • Perinatology
  • Fetal Medicine
  • Neonatology

Background:

  • Congenital hydrothorax is a rare condition characterized by fluid accumulation in the fetal pleural space.
  • Bilateral fetal hydrothorax presents a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to its association with poor fetal outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the antenatal and postnatal diagnosis and therapeutic approaches for bilateral congenital hydrothorax.
  • To highlight the poor prognosis associated with this condition, particularly in cases of severe fetal hydrops and hydramnion.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 30-year-old woman's second pregnancy with diagnosed bilateral fetal hydrothorax.
  • Cesarean section performed at 31 weeks of gestation due to progressive pleural effusions, fetal hydrops, and hydramnion.

Main Results:

  • The neonate presented with severe pulmonary hypoplasia.
  • The infant did not survive, succumbing to complications of the condition.

Conclusions:

  • Bilateral congenital hydrothorax, especially when associated with fetal hydrops and hydramnion, carries a grave prognosis.
  • Effective antenatal and postnatal management strategies remain limited, underscoring the need for further research and improved therapeutic options.
