RESUMEN

<p><b>INTRODUCTION</b>We aimed to study the profile of nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) in the local population and identify its outcomes and causes.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We carried out a retrospective review of the medical records in KK Women's and Children's hospital, a single tertiary referral centre, for pregnancies with an antenatal diagnosis of NIHF in the six-year period from 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2010.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A total of 29 cases of NIHF were identified; 19 (66%) cases underwent karyotype evaluation, 17 (59%) underwent intrauterine infection screening, and all underwent antenatal thalassaemia screening. The median gestational age at diagnosis was 27 (range 12-37) weeks, median gestational age at birth was 33 (range 27-37) weeks, and median birth weight of live births was 2,480 (range 1,230-3,900) g. The aetiologies for NIHF were identified in 20 (69%) cases, which included cardiac anomalies (n = 5), haematological problems (n = 4), congenital tumours (n = 4), genetic/metabolic disorders (n = 4) and cystic hygromas (n = 3). The cause of NIHF was not identified in the remaining 9 (31%) cases. There were 19 live births - 8 (42%) survived and 11 (58%) died in the neonatal period - and one stillbirth. Nine women opted for medical termination of pregnancy following the diagnosis of NIHF.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>It is important to thoroughly investigate all cases of NIHF and identify its causes in order to provide appropriate antenatal and postnatal counselling. In our series, almost one-third of NIHF cases had no identified aetiology. The neonatal mortality rate was approximately 58%.</p>
