Abstract
We report a case of spontaneous reversal in utero of hydrops fetalis c aused by parvovirus B19 maternal-fetal infection. The route leading to fetal hydrops is not fully understood, Severe anemia with hypoxemia a nd viral fetal myocarditis have been incriminated, Then the main issue is fetal death or spontaneous abortion. Cases of spontaneous reversal of hydrops fetalis are unusual. Fetal regenerative anemia is a good p rognostic factor and emphasizes the place of conservative management.
