✦ Synopsis

Recurrence of fetal cystic hygroma in subsequent pregnancies is extremely rare. A review of the literature to date revealed only two other reports of recurrence with normal fetal karyotypes documented in at least two of the affected pregnancies. At 11 weeks' gestation, the fetus of a 19-year-old gravida 3 para 0 was discovered to have a large cystic hygroma. Subsequent evaluation during the second trimester revealed increasing size of the septated nuchal mass and ascites. A 46,XX fetal karyotype was noted in her two prior pregnancies, both of which had also been complicated by the development of cystic hygroma and nonimmune hydrops. Cystic hygroma, associated with a normal karyotype, can be inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.
