title: Ultrasonic diagnosis of fetal ascites and toxoplasmosis.
abstract: The ultrasonic diagnosis of fetal ascites caused by Toxoplasma Gondii is presented. When a diagnosis of fetal ascites without obvious etiological malformation is established, toxoplasmosis should be suspected. A serological test should be performed, in view of the possibility of antenatal treatment of the fetus.
