Abstract 

We treated a case of primary fetal hydrothorax with hydrops. A pleuroamniotic shunt catheter inserted at 30 weeks accomplished resolution of hydrops and was maintained until cesarean delivery at 34 weeks with no need for further prenatal intervention. At age 9 months, the infant showed no effusion or pulmonary compromise.
