No consanguinity or Rh isoimmunization was involved in her current or previous pregnancy. First-trimester ultrasonography revealed nuchal CH, and chorion villus sampling was performed to exclude aneuploidy.<br />In the first pregnancy, the CH had regressed and aortic coarctation was detected by second-trimester fetal echocardiography. In the current pregnancy, the CH had progressed and was complicated by the development of nonimmune hydrops. Termination of the pregnancy was performed at 21 weeks’ gestation.<br />Recurrence of fetal CH in subsequent pregnancies is extremely rare. CH with a normal karyotype can be inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.
