title: Fetal liver hemangioma and chorioangioma: two unusual cases of severe fetal anemia detected by ultrasonography and its perinatal management.
abstract: Severe anemia was diagnosed by cordocentesis in two fetuses, one with a large chorioangioma, the other with a liver hemangioma. Despite the presence of a chronic fetotumoral shunt, both cases were partly treated by a fetal intravascular transfusion, followed by an elective Cesarean section. This 'predelivery' management of anemia should improve neonatal morbidity associated with severe hematological and acid-base balance disorders.
