[Comparative analysis of interuterine therapy of unilateral and bilateral fetal obstructive uropathy].

Objective: The goal of the work was a comparative analysis of intrauterine therapy among pregnant women with diagnosed fetal uropathy and unilateral hydronephrosis.

Methods: The study was conducted on a group of 98 pregnant women hospitalized at the Department of Gynecology Fertility and Fetal Therapy Polish Mother's Memorial Hospital between 2006-2012.

[Intrauterine therapy for nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF)--analysis of 38 cases].

Objective: The aim of the study was to perform an audit the results of fetal therapy in cases of nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF), isolated hydrothorax and isolated ascites.

Methods: A total of 38 fetuses (17-35 weeks of pregnancy) were included in the study whereas 6 patients were excluded due to abnormal karyotype. NIHF was diagnosed in 24 cases, hydrothorax in 4 cases, and ascites in 4 cases.

[Intrauterine fetal therapy of NIHF with massive pleural effusion - a case study].

Hydrops fetalis (fetal hydrops) is a serious fetal condition defined as abnormal accumulation of fluid in two or more extravascular compartments, including ascites, pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, and skin edema. Edema is classified as immune or non-immune. Today more than 90% of fetal edema has non-immune cause.
