✦ Synopsis

Fetal echocardiography, performed on a 22-year-old woman at 31 weeks' gestation, revealed a diverticulum of the left atrium. The size of the diverticulum was similar to the size of the fetal heart in a four-chamber view. No evidence of congestive heart failure or changes in size of the diverticulum were observed on subsequent ultrasound examinations. The echocardiographic image suggested presence of a thrombus within the diverticulum. Echocardiography of the newborn confirmed the diagnosis, and surgical correction followed five days after the birth. Our approach to this problem is discussed here.

Intra-atrial echogenic foci were detected in 3 out of 15,706 fetuses (prevalence 0.019 per cent). In all cases, they were located in the right atrium. Normal chromosomes and negative TORCH titres were observed in all affected cases. Fetuses with intra-atrial echogenic foci demonstrated adequate intr

We describe the detection of congenital long QT syndrome in a fetus at 37 weeks' gestation using magnetocardiography (MCG). The prenatal diagnosis was confirmed by standard electrocardiography (ECG) performed after birth. This is the first case report of fetal long QT syndrome detected by MCG. Fetal

In Sardinia, fetal karyotyping for couples at risk for -thalassaemia is offered only to women \_35 years and for specific risk of chromosomopathies. This policy is not easily accepted by the couples who insistently request additional karyotyping. In order to select those at highest risk of chromosom
