Hydrops Fetalis Secondary to Left Ventricle Diastolic Collapse Caused by Giant Rhabdomyoma: Utility of 4D STIC and Fetal Heart Quantification Techniques.

This case image illustrates the utility of fetal HQ and 4D STIC echocardiography in a 24-week gestation fetus in understanding the hemodynamics responsible for the fetal heart failure due to LV rhabdomyoma.

First Trimester Prenatal Diagnosis of a Conotruncal Anomaly Using Spatiotemporal Image Correlation Imaging Confirmed by Conventional Autopsy.

Fetal echocardiography continues to be the first line investigation for detecting congenital heart diseases (CHD). As accurate and complete diagnosis of complex heart disease is often difficult in the first trimester due to small size of the fetal heart, confirmation/expanded description by fetopsy provides the best information for accurate counseling for future pregnancies. Although non invasive fetal autopsy alternatives have been investigated with favorable results, conventional autopsy remains the gold standard procedure used to confirm the fetal abnormalities.
