Acta Paediatr Jpn. 1992 Jun;34(3):324-7. doi: 10.1111/j.1442-200x.1992.tb00966.x.

Abstract

There have been only 2 previous reports of nonimmunologic hydrops fetalis (NIHF) caused by fetal Kasabach-Merritt syndrome, both of which were pathological studies. This is the first clinical case report of NIHF due to fetal Kasabach-Merritt syndrome that was prenatally diagnosed by sonography, computerized tomography, and percutaneous umbilical blood sampling.
