“…The presence of an LSVC in this case was suspected because the coronary sinus was enlarged (Jouannic et al, 2003). Causes for a dilated coronary sinus in the fetus include a persistent LSVC as well as total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) to the coronary sinus (Allan and Sharland, 2001;Kalache et al, 2003;Valsangiacomo et al, 2003).…”

“…However, it should be kept in mind that, if the coronary sinus dilates because it receives other venous vessels, such as one or more pulmonary veins or an abnormal ductal connection, then this round structure will not be visible and the differential diagnosis with pAVSD will be more challenging. In addition, it should be considered that, sometimes, the dilated coronary sinus may also obstruct the mitral inflow, causing moderate ventricular disproportion8. Finally, it should be underscored that the cleft of the left‐sided valve, which can be associated with this variant of AVSD, cannot be detected on prenatal ultrasound unless it is associated with valve regurgitation.…”

“…The colors do not represent flow directions, as in color Doppler sonography, for instance, and they do not correlate with fetal blood oxygenation. A few drawings (cases [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] use colors that represent color Doppler images, and those drawings are clearly identified. The drawings are presented with the fetus presenting in the cephalic dorsal position (Figure 1).…”

“…The persistent left superior vena cava will drain either in the back of the left atrium or in the coronary sinus. [8][9][10][11][12][13] The distension of the coronary sinus will appear as a transverse line (roughly parallel to the atrioventricular valve) in the lower aspect of the left atrium. …”

Objective. The goal of this presentation is to review some of the common and rare fetal heart abnormalities and to provide an easy approach to these findings with the schematic drawings. Methods. Over the past 10 years, we collected cases in which the common views of the heart were abnormal and the differential diagnoses that existed for each. This presentation shows the normal sonographic sections and then variations of these sections and the associated anomalies. We used illustrative drawings to present these findings, enabling us to point out the main sonographic features of abnormalities of the heart. Results. This work reviews 21 fetal heart abnormalities in schematic drawings. Conclusions. This short review highlights several of the anomalies that can be recognized on the common sonographic views. The drawings tend to simplify the findings but should serve as a basis for those doing fetal echocardiography when they encounter an unusual finding. Key words: drawings; fetal echocardiography; prenatal sonography. n this third part of our 3-part series, we review the prenatal sonographic findings of some cardiac anomalies at the level of the 3-vessel-trachea view. Many of the cardiac anomalies result in modifications of the anatomy, position, or direction of flow at the level of the structures in the upper thoracic region. The purpose of this presentation is to provide schematic drawings of these findings to serve as an easy reference for those anomalies. Materials and MethodsWe have summarized the typical findings of some cardiac anomalies collected over the past 10 years.The colors used in the drawings are conventional medical artist colors, with arteries in red and veins in purple or blue. The colors do not represent flow directions, as in color Doppler sonography, for instance, and they do not correlate with fetal blood oxygenation. A few drawings (cases 10-17) use colors that represent color Doppler images, and those drawings are clearly identified. The drawings are presented with the fetus presenting in the cephalic dorsal position (Figure 1). Although this does not represent the conventional position used in computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, it will be more familiar to those who do prenatal sonographic examinations.
