PRENATALLY DIAGNOSED NONIMMUNE HYDROPS CAUSED BY CONGENITAL TRANSIENTLEUKEMIA

Congenital transient leukaemia (CTL) is a haematological disorder char acterized by proliferation of myeloblasts within the bone marrow and p eripheral blood of affected newborns. Infants with Down syndrome are m ost frequently affected and although the disorder can result in fetal death due to hydrops, it typically resolves spontaneously after birth. We present a case of prenatally diagnosed fetal hydrops accompanied b y splenomegaly and an enlarged, echogenic liver in a fetus identified with CTL after birth.
