Nonimmunologic fetal hydrops wtih theca lutein cysts.
A case of nonimmunologic fetal hydrops complicated by bilateral theca lutein cysts is presented. It is thought that the theca lutein cysts were caused by elevated human chorionic gonadotrophin levels that were a result of fetal hydrops. These cysts should not be treated with surgery, since they usually regress once the pregnancy ends.
