The tricuspid valve positioned between the right atrium and right ventricle is composed of 3 leaflets (anterior, posterior, and septal) anchored by a collagenous fibrous annulus, a saddle-shaped, oval structure, providing a firm yet dynamic structural support for the tricuspid valve. The annulus is considered to separate between the right atrium and right ventricle. Structural anomalies of the fetal tricuspid valve are rare and include Ebstein's anomaly, tricuspid atresia, partial absence, unguarded tricuspid orifice (absent leaflets) cleft, double orifice, bicuspid valve and Uhl anomaly (absence of the right ventricular myocardium with an apposing endocardium and epicardium).
