A 25 year-old woman with the first normal pregnancy, but in the 21th week there was her fetal hydrops: pleural effusions both two sides, ascites and body edema.
Prenatal ultrasound detected fetal hydrops and helping guided thoracocentesis in 3 times for every 10 days.
At the 25th week, the fetus came back to normal status, no pleural effusion nor ascites and edema.
Amniotic fluid biopsy result no sign of infection.
And no abnormal structure of the fetus to find out.
The continuity of follow-up are in progress for the case of unknown ascites and pleural effusion of the fetus in a normal pregnancy.
