Abstract

This case reports a rare ultrasonographic sign of congenital toxoplasmosis, fetal hydrops, as the only manifestation of fetal compromise. Definitive diagnosis was done in the newborn who presented hepatosplenomegaly, chorioretinitis and absence of cerebral calcifications, being both mother and newborn positive for toxoplasmosis serology.
