📋 Case data
- Extent/mediastinal shift/hydrops + causeLarge/mediastinal shift/hydrops/polyhydramnios/rapid progression
Data is taken from this pathway's reviewed node text. Work through the pathway step by step.
Step 1 / 1 · Extent/mediastinal shift/hydrops + cause
Extent / mediastinal shift / hydrops + cause?
💡 Primary (prenatal hydrothorax/postnatal chylothorax, lymphatic leak) or secondary (cardiac/infection/anemia/mass/chromosomal). ~50% isolated, ~50% with hydrops; chromosomal ~10% (trisomy 21, Turner), Noonan <5%. First detailed anatomy + echocardiography + karyotype/microarray + infection/anemia assessment (with hydrops).
