Sonographically documented spontaneous resolution of isolated fetal ascites

Objective: To present spontaneous resolution of isolated fetal ascites diagnosed at antenatal period. Case: A 30-year-old, G3, P2 patient admitted to our perinatology clinic in 26th week of pregnancy with a diagnosis of severe, isolated fetal ascites without any other anomalies revealed by ultrasound examination. The workup for Parvovirus B19, cytomegalovirus, toxoplasmosis, herpes simplex, rubella, hepatitis A, B, C and infectious markers were negative. Fetal karyotyping was reported as normal. As the persistence of fetal ascites was seen at 32 and 34 weeks gestation, a complete resolution of the ascites was detected at 36 weeks’ gestation. A normal 4,200 grams male infant was vaginally delivered at 39 weeks gestation. Conclusion: Isolated fetal ascites is a rare ultrasound finding and diagnosis is to be confirmed with exclusion of related fetal anomalies, immunologic and nonimmunologic causes. Parents should be counseled about other rare concomitant and undetectable anomalies despite detailed evaluation. Ultrasonografik izlemde spontan remisyona
