Sonographic diagnosis of fetal hydrops.
Sonograms obtained during the 32nd and 34th weeks of a pregnancy complicated by severe Rh isoimmunization demonstrated features diagnostic of fetal-hydrops-scalp and body wall edema, ascites, hepatosplenomegaly and placental enlargement. The earliest sign that can be detected sonographically is placental enlargement.
