Neurological outcome of children who were treated for fetal tachycardia complicated by hydrops

Fetal tachycardia is a condition associated with congestive heart failure and development of fetal hydrops, which may result in neurological morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to investigate the long‐term outcome of hydropic fetuses.
