Key result
Fetal echocardiography detected a rare case of giant right atrium at 29 weeks of gestation, a condition often mistaken for pericardial effusion or Ebstein's anomaly.
Giant right atrium is a rare condition that can be diagnosed prenatally via fetal echocardiography and should be differentiated from pericardial effusion and Ebstein's anomaly.

Alerts clinicians to differentiate giant right atrium on fetal echocardiography; leaves open natural history and management questions.
Giant right atrium is a rarely reported condition, especially in intrauterine life. It may be mistaken with pericardial effusion and Ebstein's anomaly, which are more common causes of right atrial enlargement. We present a case of prenatal diagnosis of giant right atrium detected at 29 weeks of gestation by fetal echocardiography.
