“…There exist reports of poor outcomes following spontaneous rupture of DAA. 11,12 Particularly, infants with a proven associated connective-tissue disorder such as Marfan's syndrome 13 or Ehlers-Danos syndrome appear to demonstrate the highest risk of spontaneous rupture. 14 Although most cases of small DAA appear to run a short-lived, benign course, surgical correction has shown a role in managing some patients.…”

The ductus arteriosus holds major functional importance within the fetal circulation, and anomalies within the ductus arteriosus may interfere with the integrity of the fetal circulation. Ductus arteriosus aneurysm, previously considered a rare lesion, is now a well-reported finding in infancy with some reports describing this finding in the prenatal period. Postnatally, most ductus arteriosus aneurysms resolve spontaneously; however, a small group of infants show complications such as connective-tissue disorders, thrombo-embolism, compression of surrounding thoracic structures and life-threatening spontaneous rupture requiring surgical correction. As such, postnatal assessment in this group is recommended.

“…Other reports have described extension of the DAA thrombus into the adjacent vessels, thromboembolic events, and associated infection 11, 22, 23. Compression of the adjacent vessels or airways and of the recurrent laryngeal nerve by large DAAs has been reported 11, 18–20, 24…”

“…However, the potential complications of DAA must be considered, such as spontaneous rupture, dissection, thromboembolism, infection, and compression of the adjacent structures, although the incidence of these complications is not certain. Several reports have documented rupture of DAA 11, 18–21. It is known that patients with connective tissue disease have the highest risk of spontaneous rupture.…”

A 30 year-old pregnant woman (G1P0) was diagnosed with fetal ductus arteriosus aneurysm (DAA) at 38 weeks of gestation. The three-vessel view of the heart and the sagittal view of the ductal arch showed a 12-mm fusiform dilatation of the ductus arteriosus. Turbulent flow was detected in it by color Doppler. DAA was confirmed by postnatal echocardiography within 24 hours after birth and it spontaneously closed in the neonatal period. Congenital DAA, usually developed in the third trimester, is potentially fatal due to the possible complications such as spontaneous rupture, dissection, and thromboembolism.
