Abstract
Mirror syndrome is a condition in which the mother mirrors her hydropic fetus and/or hydropic placenta. Physical and laboratory findings of mirror syndrome include generalized edema, hypertension, and proteinuria similar to preeclampsia. However, unlike preeclampsia, mirror syndrome is associated with hemodilutional anemia and fluid overload, which may progress to pulmonary edema. The anesthetic management of a parturient with fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma, hydrops fetalis, and mirror syndrome complicated by markedly elevated maternal serum human chorionic gonadotropin and subsequent clinical hyperthyroidism, is presented.
