Turner syndrome is a rare chromosomal abnormality in women that is caused by a partial or complete loss of one X chromosome and is often associated with a spectrum of congenital cardiac abnormalities, including cardiac shunts. A 27-year-old woman with Turner syndrome was also found to have right ventricular dilation, partial anomalous pulmonary venous return, and possible atrial septal defect. She was scheduled for elective surgical repair.

Aim: This study investigated the major factors contributing to the missed diagnosis of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) in fetal echocardiography.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the prenatal ultrasonic images of 32 fetuses with missed diagnoses of TAPVC, compared them with autopsy and postnatal surgical records, and summarized the most likely reasons leading to the missed diagnoses.
Results: We studied a total of 157 fetuses with TAPVC, 32 (20.

Article Synopsis
- Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) can cause severe issues shortly after birth, making early detection crucial for better outcomes.
- Despite being a serious congenital heart condition, TAPVR is often not diagnosed before birth, even though there are known ultrasound markers.
- This commentary introduces a new color Doppler fetal sonographic marker that could help identify TAPVR prenatally, potentially preventing life-threatening complications.

Article Synopsis
- A newborn with a rare heart condition was found to have an unusual liver blood flow pattern during a CT scan that was initially thought to be a blood clot.
- The case highlights how the baby's unique anatomy affects liver blood flow distribution, leading to the misinterpretation of imaging results.
- Gaining a clearer understanding of these hepatic perfusion abnormalities can help medical professionals correctly identify similar cases in the future, preventing misdiagnosis and extra tests.

Article Synopsis
- Significant advancements in fetal cardiac imaging have allowed for earlier diagnosis of complex congenital heart disease (CHD) in infants at high risk for postnatal issues, prompting a new strategy for immediate surgical intervention.
- Between 2012 and 2023, eight prenatally diagnosed CHD infants were delivered in an operating room next to a cardiac OR, with six undergoing surgery on their birth day for conditions like obstructed total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR).
- The overall five-year postoperative survival rate for these infants was 88%, indicating that this interdisciplinary approach to birth and immediate care may lead to better outcomes compared to historical data.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the health outcomes and factors relating to adults with a specific heart condition called partial anomalous pulmonary venous return with an intact atrial septum (PAPVR-IAS) that hasn't been surgically repaired.
- Researchers at the Mayo Clinic analyzed various clinical indicators and heart measurements in 80 patients over 3 to 5 years, comparing those with unrepaired PAPVR-IAS to those who underwent repair.
- They found that a newly developed risk score could predict the need for surgical intervention, and importantly, patients with unrepaired PAPVR-IAS showed no significant decline in their health or heart function over time.

Article Synopsis
- A study in South Korea aimed to investigate the prevalence of congenital heart disease (CHD) in children, filling a gap in national epidemiological data.
- Researchers analyzed data from the National Health Insurance Service from 2014-2018, focusing on critical CHDs that require immediate intervention after birth.
- Results showed that prevalence rates for certain defects varied significantly between East Asian and Western populations, indicating unique patterns in CHD types in Korean children.
