... lymphatic obstruction sequence, which when severe, can lead to hydrops and death. When mild, the jugular lymphatic obstruction may resolve with the sequelae of webbed neck and milder peripheral edema. Nearly half of fetal cystic hygromas are associated with intrauterine death ( 52 ). There is an increased...

.... In utero presentations typically involve hydrops or polyhydramnios. Effusions and heart failure may also be presenting signs and can occur abruptly in the first few months of life. Nonspecific findings of dyspnea, fatigue, and irritability have also been described ( 37 ). Serum calcium levels are often...

... that impose increased risk of hypertension in pregnancy include hydrops (especially due to trisomy 13 or triploidy), molar gestations, and multiple gestations. The risk of preeclampsia corresponds to the number of fetuses in multiple gestations, and is higher with higher order multiple births ( 49 ). Other...
