“…10 Sonographic images of fetuses with congenital heart disease have been presented in 2 previous case reports that suggested the diagnostic value of this technology. 11,12 During prenatal diagnosis, clinicians should distinguish truncus arteriosus from tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia through a careful search for the origin of the main pulmonary artery and the demonstration of its 2 branches. The overriding great artery is not always the truncal root but is often the aorta of a case with tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia.…”

Persistent truncus arteriosus is an uncommon congenital cardiac anomaly. In most patients, this condition is not diagnosed prior to birth. We report a case in which this uncommon cardiac anomaly was diagnosed prenatally using wide-band Doppler imaging. When diagnosing fetal truncus arteriosus, sonologists should carefully search for the origin of the main pulmonary artery and for its 2 branches. Our experience suggests that wide-band Doppler imaging facilitates the prenatal diagnosis of truncus arteriosus.
