Type 3 CPAMs complicated by fetal hydrops are associated with high perinatal mortality. While open fetal surgery remains a viable option in select specialist centers, antenatal interventions are typically ineffective. The survival of this infant can be attributed to prenatal management and early postnatal surgical intervention. The lack of guidelines for ventilation in this setting was a significant challenge for neonatal intensivists. Multidisciplinary vigilance and collaboration with frequent specialist follow ups were the key to success for both mother and child.
