Asymptomatic hyperechoic foci were noted within the left cardiac
ventricular chamber on the prenatal sonograms of 26 patients between 16 and
20 weeks of gestation. Their range of occurrence, the prenatal follow-up in
12 patients and postnatal echocardiograms in six patients, indicate a
clinically insignificant congenital anomaly associated with the chordae
tendinae.
