May support prenatal right atrial isomerism diagnosis via pyramidal appendages on echocardiography; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Can cross-sectional and colour flow Doppler echocardiography accurately diagnose right atrial isomerism in utero?
Prenatal diagnosis of right atrial isomerism is possible by identifying two pyramidal atrial appendages using cross-sectional and colour flow Doppler echocardiography, regardless of visceral situs.
Colloridi et al. (1994) studied this question.
