    Summary

    Sonography aids in managing hydrops fetalis by evaluating fetal ascites and related conditions. This improves perinatal outcomes and reduces mortality for affected newborns.

    Area of Science:

    • Perinatology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Fetal Medicine

    Background:

    • Hydrops fetalis is a serious condition characterized by abnormal fluid accumulation in fetal tissues and organs.
    • Accurate diagnosis and management are crucial for improving perinatal outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To systematically evaluate the role of sonography in diagnosing and managing hydrops fetalis.
    • To discuss the clinical implications of sonographic findings in relation to fetal outcome.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic sonographic evaluation of 21 cases of hydrops fetalis.
    • Comprehensive literature review on the topic.

    Main Results:

    • Sonographic findings such as fetal ascites, anasarca, maternal hydramnios, oligohydramnios, and placental thickness are significant indicators.

  • These sonographic markers correlate with fetal prognosis and guide management decisions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Sonography is a key tool in the perinatal management of hydrops fetalis.
    • Optimizing sonographic evaluation can reduce perinatal mortality and morbidity associated with this disorder.
