“…10 In recent years, only 4 cases of prenatal diagnosis of APW by means of echocardiography were reported. [31][32][33][34] In 2016, our team reported the first case of Berry syndrome diagnosed prenatally in China. 31 Although scattered reports in the literature have confirmed the possibility of surgically correcting this complex malformation, 32,33 the neonate with Berry syndrome in this study died of repeated pneumonia and heart failure without surgery at 63 days after birth, and the other case was an induced abortion at 26 weeks' gestation after detailed prenatal consultation.…”

Prenatal Diagnosis of Aortopulmonary Window by 2‐Dimensional Echocardiography: Summary of 8 Cases

Aortopulmonary window (APW) is a rare congenital heart anomaly. A total of 8 cases with APW confirmed by echocardiography and surgery were retrospectively reviewed and the echocardiographic features analyzed. Among the 8 APW cases, 5 were type II and 3 were type III, the latter of which includes 2 cases complicated with Berry syndrome. Prenatal echocardiography can provide accurate information for the diagnosis of fetal APW. The prognosis depends on the timing of surgery and the nature of the associated cardiac anomalies.

“…Prenatal diagnosis of Berry syndrome has the potential to improve outcomes as early management is possible. However, it is difficult to diagnose Berry syndrome antenatally and, to date, only four cases of prenatally diagnosed Berry syndrome have been reported in the literature . The difficulty of diagnosing Berry syndrome prenatally by fetal echocardiography may be related to the following reasons.…”

Berry syndrome is a rare congenital cardiac malformation. We describe 4 cases of Berry syndrome diagnosed by fetal echocardiography. Based on our experience, the three-vessel view is important for diagnosing the aortopulmonary window and aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery. Furthermore, the true cross-sectional and sagittal views obtained by continuously scanning from the three-vessel-trachea view to the long-axis view of the aortic arch are required to image the interruption or coarctation of the aortic arch. An early and accurate prenatal diagnosis of Berry syndrome is feasible and helps to improve patient outcomes.

Background Berry syndrome, a rare combination of cardiac anomalies, consists of aortopulmonary window (APW); aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery; interrupted aortic arch (IAA) or hypoplastic aortic arch or coarctation of the aorta; and an intact ventricular septum. There is lack of review articles that elucidate the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of Berry syndrome. This publication systematically reviews the 89 cases published since 1982 on Berry syndrome. Case presentation A 38-year-old woman presented with a loud murmur and cyanosis. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated a severely dilated aorta and main pulmonary artery with a large intervening defect. Distal to the APW, the ascending aorta gave rise to the right pulmonary artery. Additionally, a type A IAA, an intact ventricular septum, and a large patent ductus arteriosus were revealed. Computed tomography angiography with 3-dimensional reconstruction confirmed above findings. This is the first report of a patient of this age with Berry syndrome who did not undergo surgery. Conclusions Berry syndrome is a rare but well-identified and surgically correctable anomaly. Patients with Berry syndrome should be followed up for longer periods to better characterize long-term outcomes.
