AI Article Synopsis
- A 34-week pregnant woman was referred for potential fetal heart issues based on an ultrasound, leading to further evaluation with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.
- MR imaging confirmed right-sided heart positioning in the fetus, along with a small right hemithorax and the complete absence of the right main bronchus and right pulmonary artery.
- The study highlights five key MR imaging findings essential for diagnosing pulmonary agenesis and also notes that fetal MR imaging can reveal other organ anomalies.
Article Abstract
A woman was referred to our institution with an ultrasound (US) suggestive of right-sided heart in fetus at 34 weeks' gestation. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed right-sided heart, small right hemithorax, and completely absent right main bronchus and right pulmonary artery. From our experience with this case, we point out 5 important MR imaging findings needed for prenatal diagnosis of pulmonary agenesis. Fetal MR imaging also provided information about anomalies of other organs.
