Prenatal sonographic detection of cardiac aneurysms and diverticula

Department of Cardiology, Children's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.

We describe three cases of isolated ventricular aneurysm or diverticulum detected antenatally, with subsequent prenatal serial study and postnatal follow-up. Two pregnancies with in utero left ventricular aneurysm, both involving the apex, were referred for fetal atrial arrhythmias at 28 and 25 weeks of gestation, respectively. The aneurysms had a saccular appearance and were thin-walled and hypokinetic. In a third pregnancy, referred for an abnormal four-chamber view, the fetus was found to have a right ventricular aneurysm or diverticulum protruding beneath the tricuspid valve annulus. All three continued to term and at no time demonstrated cardiovascular compromise.
