Umbilical arterial necrotic vasculopathy associated with fetal ascites.
Immune and nonimmune neonatal ascites may be part of hydrops fetalis or may be an isolated finding. However, a significant percentage of nonimmune ascites do not have an identifiable pathogenesis and are considered idiopathic. We report a case of fetal ascites and umbilical arterial necrotic vasculopathy, an association not previously described.
