A premature newborn infant with congenital ascites

Article Abstract:

A pregnant woman was admitted to a hospital after an ultrasound scan revealed that her infant had fetal hydrops. This condition is characterized by fluid build-up in soft tissues and fluid in the abdominal cavity. The infant was born prematurely and needed paracentesis to remove large quantities of fluid from the abdominal cavity. Examination of the placenta revealed that the infant probably had a lysosomal storage disorder. Biochemical analysis of blood cells showed that she had galactosialidosis, which is caused by deficiencies of the enzymes beta-galactosidase and alpha-neuraminidase.
