P02.77: Abnormal Doppler waveforms of umbilical vein, portal vein and ductus venosus in prenatal diagnosis of pentalogy of Cantrell

Year: 2006

Type: conference-abstract

Abstract: We report here a case of 20 weeks' gestation which was diagnosed as pentalogy of Cantrell. The sonographic examination revealed typical fetal anomalies, including ectopia cordis and hepato-omphalocele. Abnormal venous flow including reversed A-wave of ductus venous and pulsatile umbilical vein and portal vein were identified by 2D Doppler ultrasound. Fetal MR image confirmed the diagnosis with additional findings of pleural effusion, fetal hydrops and thickened nuchal translucency. The pregnancy was terminated by elective vaginal induction. The chromosomal karyotype of cord blood was 46,XY.
