| Abstract: | This article reports 4 cases with cardiac rhabdomyomas diagnosed during intrauterine life. Echocardiographic follow-up at
9–30 months showed regression of the tumors in 3 cases (75%). Two cases (50%) developed tuberous sclerosis during that period.
Fetal echocardiography promotes early diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis through prenatal detection of cardiac rhabdomyoma, and
facilitates genetic counselling of families at risk |
