Congenital syphilis remains a significant public health problem worldwide and there is a global rise in frequency. It also remains one of the leading causes of fetal and neonatal death globally. Affected newborn infants may be asymptomatic or present with the involvement of many different organs. Non-immune hydrops fetalis is also one of the clinical manifestations. In this article, a case diagnosed with congenital syphilis, which was examined for non-immune hydrops fetalis, was published to share its rarity and difficulties in its management.
