Abstract
A rare complication (appendiceal perforation with meconium peritonitis) was observed in a second trimester fetus affected by nonimmune fetal hydrops due to parvovirus B-19 infection. The complication is not considered specific to this or any other etiology for hydrops, which is highly heterogeneous; rather it is an expression of the fragility and friability of edematous tissues.Entities:
