Review Case ReportsMirror syndrome: a systematic review of fetal associated conditions, maternal presentation and perinatal outcome.
Mirror syndrome, also referred to as Ballantyne's syndrome, is normally defined as the development of maternal edema in association with fetal hydrops. The incidence of mirror syndrome is low and few cases have been published. We describe a case report in association with fetal Ebstein anomaly and provide a systematic review on the fetal associated conditions, maternal presentation and perinatal outcome reported for mirror syndrome. ⋯ Mirror syndrome is associated with a substantial increase in fetal mortality and maternal morbidity.
