Hypoplastic left heart syndrome

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome(HLHS) refers to the abnormal development of the left-sided
cardiac structures, resulting in obstruction to blood flow from the left ventricular outflow tract. In

FETAL AND NEONATAL PRESENTATION OF NON-COMPACTED VENTRICULAR

Noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium (NCVM) is a rare cardiomyopathy characterized by
numerous, prominent trabeculations and deep intertrabecular recesses caused by arrest in myocardial embryogenesis.
This study reviews our experience with neonatal and fetal NCVM. In contrast to the past reports of fetal and
neonatal NCVM, all pts in this group improved, and survived infancy.

ECTOPIA CORDIS : diagnosi prenatale

ECTOPIA CORDIS : diagnosi prenatale
S.Gerboni

L’Ectopia Cordis ( dislocazione parziale o totale del cuore con il suo sacco pericardico fuori dal torace ) è una anomalia congenita altamente letale e fortunatamente estremamente rara : si verifica in 5-8 neonati per un milione di nati vivi. Può essere classificata in quattro tipi a seconda della sede in cui il cuore è dislocato :
– cervicale,
– toracico,
– toraco-addominale
– addominale .

Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) represents the
most common form of anomalous systemic venous return
in adults. It has been observed in 0.3% of autopsies in
the general population and in 4–8% of patients with
congenital heart disease. The PLSVC usually drains into the right atrium via the coronary sinus and may lead to a dilatation of the latter in the prenatal period.
