A 38-year-old multiparous woman was referred at 19 weeks' gestation because of hydrops fetalis. Ultrasonic examination revealed severe pleural effusion, ascites and skin edema. Detailed examination of the amniotic fluid, fetal blood and intrathoracic fluid led to a diagnosis of congenital fetal chylothorax. Repeated thoracocenteses were not effective in improving the hydrops fetalis. We introduced fetal treatment for the pleural effusion by an intrapleural injection of OK-432 at 23, 24 and 25 weeks' gestation. The pleural effusion was reduced by adhesion of the intrathoracic space and resulted in the delivery of a neonate who was healthy except for right renal dysfunction. Pulmonary hypoplasia was successfully prevented by OK-432.
