Abstract
Mirror syndrome, a rare condition characterized by maternal anasarca in a pregnancy complicated by fetal hydrops, may have a devastating fetal outcome and significant maternal morbidity. We report a case of mirror syndrome caused by parvovirus B19 infection, which resolved spontaneously with good fetal and maternal outcome. The pathogenesis of mirror syndrome is not understood. The trigger for mirror syndrome may be derived from a compromised fetus or placenta.
