Abstract
Severe anemia was diagnosed by cordocentesis in two fetuses, one with a large chorioangioma, the other with a liver hemangioma. Despite the presence of a chronic fetotumoral shunt, both cases were partly treate d by afetal intravascular transfusion, followed by an elective Cesarea n section. This 'predelivery' management of anemia should improve neon atal morbidity associated with severe hematological and acid-base bala nce disorders.
