A case of Ebstein's anomaly prenatally diagnosed by fetal sonography
Abstract
- We experienced a case of Ebstein's anomaly prenatally by fetal sonography. Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital heart defect characterized by abnormally downward displacement of the septal and posterior leaflets of the tricuspid valve. In the absence of tricuspid regurgitation, this condition may be completely asymptomatic. On the other hand, symptomatic newborns often develop life-threatening congestive heart failure. A 30-year-old multiparous woman was referred for the evaluation of fetal cardiac defect at 26th gestational week from a private clinic. Fetal ultrasonography showed markedly enlarged right atrium and downward displacement of tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. After discussion with the patient, the pregnancy was terminated and Ebstein's anomaly was confirmed by autopsy.
