Incidental en-caul hydrops fetalis due to trauma: Interdisciplinary continuity of care

Abstract

Background: Non-immune hydrops fetalis due to Turner syndrome is characterized by hydrops fetalis, cystic hygroma, ascites and eventual fetal demise in most cases. Case: We report on a patient with incidental non-immune hydrops fetalis due to Turner syndrome presenting with hydrops fetalis and ascites on ultrasound, a rare en-caul vaginal delivery, and cystic hygroma, confirmed by cell-free DNA chromosomal analysis. Conclusion: This rare case illustrates the adaptive patient management and interdisplinary coordination of care.
