title: [Mediastinal cystic lymphangioma as a cause of hydrops fetalis].
abstract: This report is upon a case with fetal hydrops on the base of a paracardiac cystic lymphangioma in the mediastinum. The newborn which had hypoplastic lungs and multiple pneumatothoraces died because of a pulmonary insufficiency. An overview is given about the most common causes of the nonimmune fetal hydrops, and the pathomechanisms are discussed.
