Fetal ascite is defined as fluid accumulation in peritoneal cavity. It can be seen as isolated disease or an early sign of hydrops fetalis. Once fetal ascite is detected, a careful examination for hydops fetalis and possible underlying disease is necessary, since its prognosis and treatment depends mostly on the cause. Nonimmunologic fetal ascite is an uncommon problem occurring for many reasons, such as urinary tract obstruction, congenital infections, genetic and metabolic diseases, gastrointestinal diseases and cardiovascular diseases. Here in this report we present two isolated fetal ascite that occurred secondary to cardiac diseases. Keywords Fetal ascite, fetal arrhythmia, fetal heart failure, fetal myocarditis Fetal asit peritoneal kavitede sivi birikmesi olarak tanimlanmaktadir. Izole olarak gorulebilecegi gibi hidrops fetalisin erken bir bulgusu olarak da gelisebilir.

Non-immunolojik fetal asit, konjenital enfeksiyonlar, genitouriner ve gastrointestinal anomaliler, genetikmetabolik hastaliklar ve kalp hastaliklari gibi bircok nedene bagli gelisebilen nadir bir durumdur.
