Sialldosis a rare cause nof neonatal hydrops

ABSTRACT

We report a neonate with Sialidosis type II, a rare metabolic disorder, who presented as hydrops fetalis and early cardiomyopathy. The clinical features, diagnosis and management are discussed. We emphasise that a full metabolic work-up should be performed in any neonate with non-immune hydrops. Also the role of echocardiography in such a case is highlighted
