We present a case of fetal Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) associated with hydrops fetalis
and review the current literature focusing on the pathophysiology and presentation of DBA.
We conclude that DBA should be considered as a possible etiology for fetal anemia even in
the absence of a family history of anemia.
