    AbstractWe report a case of nonimmune hydrops fetalis detected at 32 weeks of gestation. Fetal heart rate was 300 beats per minute. Ultrasound and fetal Doppler echocardiography showed it to be due to supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Following failed maternal therapy with digoxin alone, amiodarone with digoxin was used. Conversion to sinus rhythm and resolution of hydrops followed this treatment. Since there is no ideal treatment protocol for these cases at present, we reviewed reports of transplacental treatment of SVT.(c) 2006 S. Karger AG, Basel
