Cesar Cilento Ponce et al. Fetal Pediatr Pathol. 2015 Apr.

Abstract

Endocardial fibroelastosis is an important cause of congestive heart failure and death in infancy and early childhood. When present, it is commonly associated with non immune hydrops fetalis. The aim of this study is to draw attention for possible cardiac abnormalities in cases of fetal hydrops, and report a case of premature death by primary endocardial fibroelastosis with autopsy.

Keywords: fetal echocardiography; nonimmune hydrops fetalis; primary endocardial fibroelastosis.
