Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights the prenatal diagnosis and individualized management of heterotaxy syndrome (left atrial isomerism).
May inform individualized prenatal counseling in heterotaxy; leaves open need for larger studies on optimal timing and outcomes.
Heterotaxy syndrome is a rare, complex disorder involving structural cardiac defects in combination with symmetrical development of abdominal viscera that are normally asymmetrical organs. The vast assortment of cardiac manifestations with accompanying abdominal visceral variations determines the prognosis of heterotaxy syndrome. This case study provides an example of the management of this disease, which is unique to the patient. This is a case report of heterotaxy syndrome diagnosed in utero at 29 weeks and 4 days.
