Abstract
We report a fetus of 35 weeks gestation in which a continuous now was detected in the lower portion of the right atrium with a peak velocity of 0.8 m/s. After delivery the echo-doppler study showed a dilated co ronary sinus in the long axis parasternal view, and a bilateral superi or vena cava in the short axis suprasternal notch view. Comments about the cause of this anomalous continuous flow are discussed.
