Pedidial oedema in a 28 wk old fetus


Hi everybody, We need assistance in counselling a woman who is 28 weeks pregnant. At 22 weeks of gestation routine sonography showed edema of one foot. Kariotype was 46,XY. Level 2 sonography and echo-cardiography were normal. At 27 weeks edema extended to the other foot. The parents are normal and the family history is normal.

We will appreciate your assistance in diagnosis or referral to specialized lists.
