Nonimmune hydrops fetalis is a serious perinatal complication with diverse causes but few successful treatment modalities. The first reported case of hydrops fetalis caused by a massive fetomaternal hemorrhage treated successfully prenatally is presented. A modification of the standard intrauterine transfusion technique was used for therapy. Implications of future treatment are discussed.
