title: Nonimmune hydrops fetalis: case reports and brief review.
abstract: We report two cases of nonimmune hydrops fetalis diagnosed prenatally. One fetus died in utero, and the second fetus survived and the infant was discharged from the intensive care nursery at 4 weeks of age. A brief review of the literature and the difficulties in arriving at a diagnosis and the management are described, along with certain prognostic factors determining the outcome.
