Prenatal diagnosis of a left ventricular diverticulum
نویسندگان
چکیده
A congenital left ventricular diverticulum is a rare prenatal finding. The four-chamber view of the heart is a standard part of the 18-20 week morphology scan, and evaluation of the heart with colour Doppler imaging has greatly enhanced the detection of rare and subtle cardiac anomalies.

Prenatal diagnosis of left ventricular aneurysm and diverticulum.
We report two cases of localized left ventricular (LV) protrusion, an entity that has been described in the literature as aneurysm or diverticulum. Both cases had different outcomes from those previously reported. Little is known on the incidence and natural history of these rare anomalies, whose progression may be asymptomatic or lead to severe complications and death in the prenatal period. T...
متن کاملFetal Right Ventricular Diverticulum Detected by Prenatal Ultrasound Screening
Prenatal ultrasound screening has allowed for the detection of in utero cardiac abnormalities. Specifically, distinction is possible between ventricular diverticula and aneurysms, which is important because each condition has a different clinical outcome. We report the case of a 35-year-old, gravida 1, para 1 woman, with no significant past medical history, who underwent routine prenatal ultras...
متن کاملIsolated Congenital Left Ventricular Diverticulum in Adults
Isolated congenital ventricular diverticulum or aneurysm is rare and usually arises from the left ventricle. The presentation of this condition is diverse. We report three cases of isolated congenital left ventricular diverticula. The age range was 17-30 years. Chest X-ray provided the earliest clinical suspicion in these three cases of a cardiac anomaly which was diagnosed by echocardiography ...
متن کاملDiverticular and aneurysmal structures of the left ventricle in adults: report of a case within the context of a literature review.
Left ventricular outpouchings are increasingly detected on cardiovascular imaging. Herein, we describe the case of a 45-year-old man who underwent noncardiac preoperative imaging and was found to have an asymptomatic left ventricular outpouching. The patient underwent successful surgical repair of the structure. When left ventricular outpouchings are detected, the main differential diagnoses ar...
متن کاملLeft ventricular diverticulum, a rare echocardiographic finding: two adult patients and review of the literature.
Congenital diverticulum of the left ventricle is a very rare cardiac abnormality characterized by a local embryological development failure of the ventricular muscle. It may present as an isolated disorder or may be associated with other cardiac abnormalities. Clinically, it has been reported that it can lead to chest pain, arrhythmias, cardiac rupture, and sudden death, although frequently the...
