In utero diagnosis of infra‐diaphragmatic total anomalous pulmonary venous return

This report describes the diagnosis of infra‐diaphragmatic total anomalous pulmonary venous return in a fetus at 25 weeks of gestation. Abnormal venous pathways were visualized with real‐time, pulsed and color Doppler ultrasound. The growth of cardiac structures, especially the left ventricle, was e...

Description
Summary:This report describes the diagnosis of infra‐diaphragmatic total anomalous pulmonary venous return in a fetus at 25 weeks of gestation. Abnormal venous pathways were visualized with real‐time, pulsed and color Doppler ultrasound. The growth of cardiac structures, especially the left ventricle, was evaluated during subsequent ultrasound examinations.
