Abstract
Intrauterine diagnosis of perinatal hemochromatosis is difficult. Noni nvasive detection of hepatic iron deposition is crucial. We report the first case diagnosed intrauterine with magnetic resonance imaging (MR I). By visual analysis, if the fetal liver is less intense than matern al or fetal fat signal for T2() gradient echo image, hemochromatosis should be suggested.
