The prenatal diagnosis and perinatal outcome of
two patients with isolated foetal ascites compatible with chyloperitoneum
is described. The foetal ascites resolved spontaneously after delivery
with good perinatal outcome in both cases. A good prognosis can
be anticipated in such cases. Antepartum and intrapartum interventions
are seldom necessary.
