✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A newborn infant was evaluated because of a large cystic mass adjacent to the left atrium on prenatal ultrasound. The diagnosis was an aneurysm of the left atrial appendage. Most cases of this rare lesion are recognized between the 2nd and 4th decades of life. The present case, however, was detected on fetal echocardiography. The patient showed significant mitral regurgitation caused by the compression of the left atrioventricular groove. Simple aneurysmectomy without mitral valvuloplasty was sufficient to relieve significant mitral regurgitation in this case. Β© 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2010

## Abstract 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

With the advent of improved imaging techniques using two-dimensional (2-D) echocardiography, both normal and abnormal systemic and pulmonary venous courses can be delineated. In the usual case, the left brachiocephalic vein runs in front of the three arterial branches originating from the aortic arc
