In utero diagnosis of infra-diaphragmatic total anomalous pulmonary venous return

Abstract

This report describes the diagnosis of infra-diaphragmatic total anomalous pulmonary venous return in a fetus at 25 weeks of gestation. Abnormal venous pathways were visualized with real-time, pulsed and color Doppler ultrasound. The growth of cardiac structures, especially the left ventricle, was evaluated during subsequent ultrasound examinations.
