title: [Non-immunologic hydrops fetalis. Considerations apropos of a case associated with a chorioangioma of the placenta].
abstract: A case of hydrops fetalis in a newborn infant in association with a choroangioma of the placenta in described. It was only with a report in 1943 by Potter that nonimmunologic hydrops fetalis was identified. Until recently immunologic hydrops fetalis secondary to Rh incompatibility has been the most frequent cause for infants with this condition. Presently, because of the decline in the incidence of Rh sensitization, non immunologic hydrops fetalis accounts for a larger number of cases. Numerous etiologies have been reported with the occurrence of non immunologic hydrops fetalis: a review of the literature for those entities found in association with this condition is inclused.
