“…The most common microscopic lesion of the placenta that is associated with nonimmune fetal hydrops is a hemorrhagic endovasculitis, which can cause death in utero. 41 In this case, the fetus had no detectable placental or umbilical-cord masses, but microscopic lesions of the placenta cannot be ruled out.…”

“…The mechanism of the association has been explained as the result of placental or decidual thrombosis and infarction (De Wolf et al, 1982). These same lesions are now described as haemorrhagic endovasculitis within the placenta (Novak et al, 1991). The occurrence of similar lesions within the hydropic fetus has only recently been described (Larroche et al, 1992).…”

Hydrops fetalis with fetal renal vein thrombosis in a mother with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome detected post-partum suggests an underlying pathogenetic association that may provide new strategies for treatment of a lethal disorder.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
