ABSTRACT
Nonimmune hydrops fetalis diagnosed at 21 weeks' gestation with profound ascites,
hydrothorax, and pericardial effusion receded gradually with regression of a subchorial
placental lucencies immediately below the umbilical cord insertion. Careful inspection
of the delivered placenta revealed that there was a yellowish lesion of fibrin deposits
below the cord insertion site, which resulted from the absorption of hematoma. A subchorial
placental hematoma, which detected as a subchorial placental lucencies by ultrasonography,
can be a cause of reversible nonimmune hydrops fetalis.
