A Prenatal Case of Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia

Lilian Maria Lopes et al. Juliana Torres Pacheco Regina Schultz Rossana Pulcineli Vieira Francisco Marcelo Zugaib

Introduction

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is a heart muscle disorder that is characterized pathologically by fibrofatty replacement of the right (and sometimes left) ventricular myocardium. In 30-90% of cases, it is an inherited condition, with an autosomal dominant form of transmission. Disease expression is variable. In this article, we discuss a rare case of fetal ARVD and its difficult prenatal diagnosis, only confirmed at post-natal autopsy.

Clinical Case

Fetal cardiac tumors are a rare finding in prenatal ultrasonography with an incidence of 1-2/10000. Rhabdomyomas are the most common tumors in intrauterine life, accounting for 60-86% of primary fetal cardiac tumors.^,

According to some case series and mostly case reports, the prevalence of tuberous sclerosis associated with fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma is 50-80%, resulting in a perinatal mortality rate of 0-100%.

Case Report

Prenatal diagnosis of left ventricular aneurysm and diverticulum

Marcia F. A. Barberato et al. Silvio H. Barberato Cristiane N. Binotto Mary Julianne M. Cavalcanti … Ana Paula Passos Nelson I. Miyague

We report two cases of localized left ventricular (LV) protrusion, an entity that has been described in the literature as aneurysm or diverticulum. Both cases had different outcomes from those previously reported. Little is known on the incidence and natural history of these rare anomalies, whose progression may be asymptomatic or lead to severe complications and death in the prenatal period. The therapeutic approach should be customized.
