Prenatal diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF) is difficult and is mainly considered upon identification of digestive sonographic signs. Although such an association has never been described until now to our knowledge, we report two cases of fetal arrhythmia associated with cystic fibrosis. This association may be explained by the physiopathology of heart in the context of CF, but nevertheless needs to be confirmed by other reports. The prenatal diagnosis of CF is important in order to implement early appropriate care, with better prognosis. The finding of possibly new associated prenatal signs may then improve the global management of the disease.
