    Area of Science:

    • Perinatology
    • Neonatalogy
    • Obstetrics

    Background:

    • Nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is a serious condition characterized by fluid accumulation in fetal tissues.
    • Recurrence of NIHF in subsequent pregnancies is uncommon, making prognosis uncertain.

    Observation:

    • This case report details recurrent nonimmune hydrops fetalis in two pregnancies, both resulting in early neonatal death.
    • Extensive investigations failed to identify the specific etiology of NIHF in this case.
    • The condition was associated with preeclampsia, polyhydramnios, and premature labor.

    Findings:

    • Polyhydramnios, while complicating management, significantly aids in early ultrasound diagnosis of NIHF.
    • The rarity of recurrence suggests a potentially better prognosis in other cases, contrasting with this severe presentation.

    Implications:

    • Early and accurate ultrasound diagnosis of NIHF is critical for preparing optimal perinatal care.
    • Further research into the unknown etiology of NIHF is warranted to improve management and outcomes.
    • Understanding associated conditions like preeclampsia and polyhydramnios is key to managing NIHF pregnancies.
