Nonimmunologic Fetal Hydrops Associated With Hyperreactio Luteinalis

CHRISTOS G. HATJIS, MD

Maternal/Fetal Medicine Division, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Bowman Gray School of Medicine of Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

A case of nonimmunologic fetal hydrops associated with maternal bilateral theca lutein cysts (hyperreactio luteinalis) is presented. It is proposed that the theca lutein cysts were caused by elevated human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) production from the hydropic placenta. These cysts appeared to regress after the patient's delivery, while ß-hCG levels declined.
