Mirror Syndrome assocciated with Patau Syndrome: A Case Report

Abstract

Mirror syndrome is an unusual pathological condition in which maternal edema in pregnancy is seen in association with severe fetal and/or placental hydrops. The disease can be life-threatening for both the mother and the fetus. The pathogenesis is poorly understood, and may be confused with preeclampsia, even though distinguishing features can be identified. We report a rare case of mirror syndrome with maternal pulmonary edema associated with fetal hydrops due to Patau syndrome.

Resumo

A síndrome de espelho é uma patologia invulgar na qual o edema materno é observado em associação com hidropsia fetal e/ou placentária graves. Esta doença pode ser fatal para a mãe e para o feto. A sua patogênese é mal compreendida, e pode ser confundida com pré-eclâmpsia, mesmo com características distintivas identificadas. Relatamos um caso raro de síndrome de espelho com edema pulmonar materno associado a hidropsia fetal devido a síndrome de Patau.
