title: Fetal Anemia With Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension: A Report of 3 Cases.
abstract: Fetal anemia may cause tissue hypoxia and hence has the potential to predispose to persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). Review articles and textbooks do not include severe anemia as a cause of PPHN. We report 3 cases of fetal anemia complicated by severe PPHN.
