Abstract
We present a case of isolated fetal ascites diagnosed by ultrasonography at 29 weeks' gestation. Cordocentesis revealed a normal karyotype and negative viral titers. Postnatally, the diagnosis of primary lymphangiectasia was made by intestinal biopsy. To our knowledge this is the first description of prenatal manifestation of primary lymphangiectasia.
