There have been only 2 previous reports of nonimmunologic hydrops fetalis (NIHF) caused by fetal Kasabach‐Merritt syndrome, both of which were pathological studies. This is the first clinical case report of NIHF due to fetal Kasabach‐Merritt syndrome that was prenatally diagnosed by sonography, computerized tomography, and percutaneous umbilical blood sampling.
