Pleural effusion in fetus:

 

Fluid collection in fetal pleural cavity:

ultrasound image of fetal chest            sagittal ultrasound image of fetal thorax

ultrasound image showing bilateral pleural effusion in fetus            ultrasound image showing scalp edema

 

This early third trimester pregnancy underwent routine sonography. Ultrasound images reveal large, bilateral pleural effusion in the fetus. Both the fetal lungs are virtually floating in the pleural fluid. There is also evidence of mild ascites and scalp edema in the fetus. Polyhydramnios is also present. These ultrasound findings suggest bilateral fetal pleural effusion with hydrops fetalis. Images courtesy of Dr. Prem Chand, Pakistan. These images were taken with a Toshiba Just Vision 200 ultrasound machine.

These ultrasound and color Doppler images show a sagittal section of the fetal thorax with the aortic arch and the descending thoracic aorta seen emerging from the LVOT (left ventricular outflow tract). Ultrasound images taken by Joe Antony, MD, using a Toshiba Nemio-XG system.

 

Normal fetal anatomy: Fetal IVC (Inferior Vena Cava):
