ABSTRACT

We review our experience with the management and perinatal outcome in three cases of isolated fetal ascites detected prenatally at the San Camilo Hospital, San Felipe, Chile, in a period of seven years. Two cases were confirmed as being the result of meconium peritonitis and the remaining to a Klippel-Feil syndrome. We conclude that the detection of transient isolated fetal ascites warrants a close surveillance of the neonate looking for signs associated with intestinal rupture and non-chromosomal genetic syndromes.


Se presenta nuestra experiencia con el manejo y resultados perinatales de 3 casos de ascitis fetal aislados diagnosticados prenatalmente en el Hospital “San Camilo”, San Felipe, durante un período de 7 años. Dos casos correspondieron a peritonitis meconial y uno a un síndrome de Klippel-Feil. Se concluye que la detección de ascitis fetal aislada, aunque sea transitoria, obliga a realizar una observación acuciosa de la evolución neonatal, ya que puede ser el único indicio prenatal de una perforación intestinal o algún síndrome genético no cromosómico.
