Fetal diagnosis of a right ventricular aneurysm case with favorable outcome

Abstract

Objective Congenital ventricular aneurysms located in the right ventricle are very rare abnormalities. Case(s) We describe a case of prenatal diagnosed right ventricle aneurysm which ended with favorable outcome. Fetal echocardiography demonstrated a 20x20 mm aneurysmal image outpouching from the basal region and free wall of the right ventricle in a 35- year-old multigravida woman at her 37th gestation week. This case had intermittent bradycardia in the postpartum first days. In pediatric cardiology examinations at the 1st, 3rd , 6th month and 1st year postnatally, it was observed that aneurysmatic formation partially regressed compared to the prenatal period. Conclusion Prenatal diagnosis of these abnormalities allows to have a favorable prognosis via a multidiciplinary colloboration in intrauterine and postnatal period.
