Abstract
Unlabelled:
We report on three siblings with non-immune hydrops fetalis. Congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasia was diagnosed in two of them. One of these, a girl still alive and suffering from frequent airway infections, has bilateral pleural effusions and distal congenital lymphoedema.
Conclusion:
To our knowledge, this is the first report of non-immune hydrops fetalis and congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasia occurring in siblings.
