Hydrops fetalis associated with Gaucher disease
Pathology, Research and Practice
|September 1, 1984
The rare association of hydrops fetalis with acute neuropathic Gaucher disease, diagnosed at autopsy, is described. Mechanisms for the fetal edema in this case are discussed. Unusual medial calcification of the aorta was present; and although its etiology is unknown, a possible relationship to Gaucher disease is suggested.
