Objective      To investigate the ultrasonographic features and clinical significance of ultrasonic diagnosis for fetal edema syndrome.        Methods      The characteristics of ultrasonogram of 65 cases with fetal edema syndrome diagnosed by ultrasonography in our hospital from June 2005 to December 2010 were analyzed retrospectively.        Results      The edema was mostly observed in peritoneal cavity （86.2%）

and in subcutaneous tissue （81.5%） secondly. Hypoevolutism was observed in 50.8% of the edema cases and malformations of other systems were observed in 58.5%.        Conclusion       Special ultrasonographic features of fetal edema syndrome is helpful to identify its location and severity

and to check out accompanied malformalities

and is of great significance for the early clinical intervention and the prognosis of fetus.
