Insights Into Congenital Lymphatic Anomalies Underlying Fetal Effusions
Autosomal dominant lymphedema and generalized lymphatic dysplasia can present with a breadth of fetal effusions from the first through third trimesters and are frequently inherited from a biological parent with less severe symptoms. These data provide a deeper understanding of how congenital lymphatic anomalies manifest in utero and inform expectations about recurrence risk in future pregnancies.
