Fetale Heterotaxie-Syndrome

The spectrum of conditions associated with heterotaxy syndromes includes a wide variety of cardiovascular and visceral anomalies that are differently distributed amongst the two clinical variants, left and right isomerism, and which determine the intrauterine as well as the postnatal course and outcome. An exact prenatal diagnosis is therefore warranted. Important sonographic markers in heterotaxy syndromes are the associated anomalies of the situs and cardiac defects. Prenatal differentiation of the two clinical variants can be based on the anomalies, the course of the inferior vena cava and the presence of a heart block.In left isomerism, mortality is highest in the prenatal period due to frequent association with a complete heart block and subsequent intrauterine heart failure. In the postnatal period, the outcome depends mainly on the associated cardiac malformations and their ability to be corrected.In contrast, in right isomerism the mortality is highest in the postnatal period. This is mainly due to the more complex type of associated cardiac malformations.     

Situs ambiguo asociado a cardiopatía e interrupción de la vena cava inferior con continuidad de la ácigos

There is a spectrum of heterotaxic syndromes between normal organ distribution (situs solitus) and congenital conditions in which major organs are mirrored from their normal position (situs inversus). The two main modalities are left isomerism (with polysplenia) and right isomerism (with asplenia). Heterotaxic defects involve ciliary dyskinesia, hampering migration of embryonic organs and leading to malposition of thoracic and abdominal organs, complex cardiac defects, and other malformations. We present a case of prenatal echographic diagnosis of levocardia, with left-sided liver, asplenia, congenital heart disease, and interruption of the inferior vena cava with azygos continuation. Because of the malformations frequently associated with heterotaxy, the position of fetal organs should form part of routine ultrasonographic examination.     

Disorders of laterality and heterotaxy in the foetus

Disorders of laterality and heterotaxy syndromes are rare diseases with an incidence of 1-1.5/10,000 live births. They are associated with numerous viscerocardiac anomalies and malformations. In particular, heterotaxy syndromes are associated with complex cardiac and extracardiac malformations that have an important impact on the prenatal and postnatal course. A prenatal differentiation between the 2 main variants of heterotaxy--left and right isomerism--is possible by assessment of cardiac rhythm, anomalies of caval veins and descending aorta and concomittant cardiac and extracardiac anomalies. An exact diagnosis is mandatory for adequate counselling of the parents and planning of postnatal care. Left isomerism has a high intrauterine mortality, caused by early atrioventricular block with subsequent cardiac failure and hydrops. In contrast, right isomerism has a high postnatal mortality due to the more complex type of cardiac defects and splenic disorders. The type of associated cardiac and extracardiac anomalies determines the postnatal morbidity and mortality. Polysplenia and asplenia may be associated with immunological disorders, that cannot be ruled out in the prenatal period, and further complicate the postnatal course.     

Association of umbilical venous with inferior vena cava blood flow velocities

The fetal cardiac and placental circulations are interconnected through the umbilical venous and arterial vasculature. We hypothesized that alterations in umbilical venous blood flow velocities are present in fetuses with abnormal umbilical arterial circulation, and further, that changes in inferior vena cava blood flow velocities occur with, and might explain, these variations in umbilical venous blood flow velocities. Umbilical venous and inferior vena cava blood flow velocities were examined in 15 normal fetuses and in 59 fetuses with abnormalities that included absent end-diastolic umbilical artery blood flow velocities (N = 21) or abnormal heart rates (N = 27). Inferior vena cava velocities were also analyzed in 11 other fetuses with anomalies or known growth or placental abnormalities who had abnormal umbilical venous blood flow velocities. In normal fetuses, variations in umbilical venous velocities occurred during fetal activity or with fetal breathing; however, no variation in velocity corresponded with heart rate. Eleven of 21 fetuses with absent end-diastolic velocities in the umbilical artery demonstrated decreases in umbilical venous velocities ("venous pulsations") during arterial diastole. Blood flow velocities in the reverse direction, from the right atrium into the inferior vena cava with atrial contraction, were significantly greater in these fetuses than in those without umbilical venous pulsations (27.5 +/- 14.9% and 7.5 +/- 5.7% of total forward flow velocity, respectively; P less than .001). Venous pulsations were also seen in fetuses with abnormally fast or slow heart rates; reverse flow with atrial contraction in the inferior vena cava was likewise greater than normal in these fetuses.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Left atrial isomerism in the adolescence: report of two cases.

Atrial isomerism is very rare in adolescence. Two cases of left atrial isomerism are reported here in 2 females, aged 21 and 19 years. They had presented with cyanosis and dyspnea since childhood. High kilovoltage filter films showed a bilateral morphologically left bronchus. Cardiac catheterization in Case 1 revealed normal pulmonary artery pressure, severe subvalvular pulmonic stenosis, a double outlet right ventricle, a significant oxygen step-up at the atrial level and moderate systemic oxygen desaturation; while Case 2 disclosed pulmonary hypertension and mild systemic oxygen desaturation. Both cases had the following anatomical features: ipsilateral connection of pulmonary veins to the bilateral morphological left atrium; interrupted inferior vena cave with azygos or hemiazygos continuation; total anomalous hepatic venous return to the right-sided atrium; complete atrioventricular canal. The diagnoses were confirmed in both cases at surgical correction.     

Fetal complete heart block: antenatal diagnosis, significance and management

Complete heart block was diagnosed prenatally in 21 fetuses. Associated structural cardiac defects were present in 18 fetuses, in particular complete atrioventricular canal with atrial isomerism (5 cases), and 'corrected' transposition of the great arteries (4 cases). Maternal systemic lupus erythematosus was proved in only one case. In 11 fetuses, intra-uterine congestive heart failure with the signs of non-immune hydrops fetalis occurred. In all 11 fetuses, the hydrops was associated with a cardiac defect, in particular complete atrioventricular canal with atrial isomerism in 5 cases. A review of the literature confirms that only the association of complete heart block and cardiac malformation can cause intra-uterine congestive heart failure, whereas in the case of fetal complete heart block without cardiac malformation or with prenatally hemodynamically insignificant cardiac malformation, congestive heart failure is rare. Only 30% of newborns with complete heart block have associated cardiac malformations. In our series, however, 86% of the fetuses with complete heart block had cardiac malformations. The most important reason for this percentage discrepancy is that almost all fetuses with associated severe cardiac defects, in particular atrioventricular canal defects, develop heart failure which frequently results in prenatal death. Thus, fetal deaths are not included in pediatric statistics. Nevertheless, fetuses with isolated complete heart block generally do not develop heart failure and in almost all of the cases are born alive.     

Fetal echocardiography: accuracy and limitations in a population at high and low risk for heart defects.

OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to assess the accuracy of prenatal echocardiography in detecting congenital heart defects in patients at high and low risk for structural cardiac anomalies. STUDY DESIGN: Sixty-nine consecutive fetuses with congenital heart defects who had had prenatal ultrasonography at greater than or equal to 18 weeks' gestation were evaluated to determine the accuracy of prenatal ultrasonography in identifying structural cardiac defects. Thirty-nine patients were at high risk and 30 patients were at low risk for cardiac anomalies. All fetuses were scanned with standard four-chamber and outflow tract views. Data concerning extracardiac anomalies and karyotypic abnormalities were tabulated. The accuracy of the four-chamber view alone in identifying congenital heart defects was evaluated. RESULTS: Fifty-seven of 69 fetuses (83%) were prenatally identified ultrasonographically as having a heart defect. There was no difference in the sensitivity of detecting cardiac anomalies between high-risk and low-risk groups. When the four-chamber view was used, only 63% of fetuses were recognized as having an abnormal heart. Extracardiac anomalies were noted in 36% and karyotypic abnormalities in 17% of patients. CONCLUSION: The four-chamber and outflow tract views done routinely in an ultrasonography laboratory seeing a mixed population of patients was successful in detecting 83% of fetuses with structural cardiac malformations. Because 43% of the fetuses with heart defects were referred for low-risk indications, systematic ultrasonographic examination of the fetal heart should not be reserved only for those at high risk.     

Prenatal diagnosis of dilated coronary sinus with persistent left superior vena cava in a fetus with trisomy 18

A case of dilated coronary sinus with persistent left superior vena cava diagnosed at 33 weeks in a fetus with trisomy 18 is reported. The features of this cardiac anomaly on prenatal ultrasonography and its association with trisomy 18 are discussed. Published in 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Intrauterine hemodynamic change in TTTS: the alterations in the inferior vena cava waveform in the donor fetus

BACKGROUND: Significant hemodynamic changes are commonly observed in both fetuses in twin-twin transfusion syndrome. METHODS AND RESULTS: We describe two donor fetus cases in twin-twin transfusion syndrome associated with abnormal waveform patterns in the inferior vena cava after therapeutic amnioreduction. Subsequent echocardiographic examinations demonstrated progressive deterioration of the cardiac function in the recipient fetuses. CONCLUSIONS: We suggest that alterations in the inferior vena cava waveform in the donor fetuses may contribute to the accurate prediction of deterioration in fetal circulation after amnioreduction.
