AI Article Synopsis
- The case involves a fetus diagnosed at 25 weeks of gestation with aortic arch anomalies and a ventricular septal defect (VSD), suspected to have coarctation of the aorta (CoA).
- The suspicion of CoA arose from observations of enlarged right heart chambers during a routine ultrasound.
- The study reviews the key ultrasonographic findings that can help in the prenatal diagnosis of CoA, highlighting the challenges in making this diagnosis.
Article Abstract
We report the case of a fetus presenting aortic arch anomalies associated with a ventricular septal defect (VSD). This fetus, which was referred at 25 weeks of gestation, was suspected to have coarctation of aorta (CoA) evidenced by enlarged right chambers at the four-chamber view during a routine obstetric ultrasonographic scan. The prenatal diagnosis of CoA remains a challenge. Here, we review the ultrasonographic findings that could contribute to this diagnosis.
