Fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 27 weeks showed massive ascites and compressed low-intensity lungs (Figure 1A). An X-ray showed marked reduction in lung volume (Figure 1B), with an increase in abdominal volume by massive ascites. Autopsy imaging showed ventriculomegaly and intracranial calcification, in addition to a reduced lung volume (Figure 1C).

Images of case 2. Fetal magnetic resonance imaging shows massive ascites, hepatomegaly, and compressed lungs (A). Postmortem chest (B) and abdominal CT (C) show pulmonary hypoplasia and massive ascites with hepatomegaly.

Fetal MRI at 30 weeks showed massive ascites, hepatomegaly, pericardial effusion, and compressed low-intensity lungs (Figure 2A). Autopsy imaging showed pulmonary hypoplasia, hepatomegaly, ascites, and intracranial calcification (Figures 2B,C).
