ABSTRACT
A case of severe nonimmune hydrops fetalis presenting at 24 weeks gestation is presented. Ultrasound, echocardiographic, and fetal ascitic fluid studies were nondiag-nostic. Because of massive fetal ascites an indwelling peritoneal amniotic cavity shunt was placed. Despite functioning of the shunt, a fetal death in utero occurred.
