PROGRESSIVE PULMONARY STENOSIS IN THE FETUS - 2 CASE-REPORTS

Fetal echocardiography is a helpful tool in diagnosing and following t he natural history of fetuses with congenital heart disease. This repo rt describes two fetuses with complex congenital heart disease that de veloped progressive pulmonary stenosis in utero. On fetal echocardiogr am, one of the fetuses had tetralogy of Fallot and the other had a sin gle ventricle. Both fetuses, when followed serially by fetal echocardi ography, showed pulmonary stenosis that progressed in severity. These findings confirm that certain cardiac defects progress in severity in utero.
