Ebstein’s Anomaly With Imperforate Tricuspid Valve. Prenatal Diagnosis

Ebstein’s anomaly is an uncommon congenital heart defect, with a prevalence of 0.3-0.5%. Its association with an imperforate tricuspid valve is an even more rare situa-tion (less than 10 % of cases). Prenatal diagnosis of this as-sociation by means of fetal echocardiography has not been reported. We describe here this association diagno-sed before birth and confirmed after birth. The diagnostic potential and importance of fetal echocardiography du-ring prenatal evaluation of cardiac malformations allows for adequate perinatal planning and management, with an obvious impact on morbidity and mortality. Ebstein’s anomaly is an uncommon congenital heart defect with an approximate prevalence of 0.3- 0.5 % of all car-diac malformations 1,2. Prenatal diagnosis of this anomaly has been possibl
