    Area of Science:

    • Perinatology
    • Fetal Medicine
    • Neonatology

    Background:

    • Fetal ascites, the accumulation of excess serous fluid in the fetal peritoneal cavity, presents a diagnostic challenge.
    • Understanding the diverse etiologies of fetal ascites is crucial for appropriate management and improved fetal outcomes.

    Observation:

    • Three new cases of fetal ascites are presented, highlighting the spectrum of clinical presentations.
    • Review of existing literature on the causes of fetal ascites.

    Findings:

    • Etiologies of fetal ascites are reviewed, encompassing infectious, genetic, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal origins.
    • A suggested protocol for intrauterine investigation is proposed to systematically evaluate fetal ascites.
    • Overlap in causes between fetal ascites and hydrops fetalis is noted, emphasizing the need for comprehensive assessment.

    Implications:

    • The proposed protocol aims to facilitate early and accurate diagnosis of fetal ascites, enabling timely intervention.
    • Improved diagnostic strategies can lead to better management of fetal ascites and associated conditions.
    • Further research into the specific causes and management of fetal ascites is warranted to enhance perinatal care.
