Key result
Fetal sonography at 14-16 weeks' gestation detected Ebstein's anomaly in 8 of 53,447 pregnancies (0.015%), though a normal early scan does not exclude subsequent development.

Can fetal sonography detect Ebstein's anomaly in early pregnancy?
Fetal Ebstein's anomaly can be detected in early pregnancy, but a normal early scan does not exclude its subsequent development.
Zimmer et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Fetal Ebstein's anomaly (n=53,447). Fetal sonography was evaluated on Detection of Ebstein's anomaly. Fetal sonography at 14-16 weeks' gestation detected Ebstein's anomaly in 8 of 53,447 pregnancies (0.015%), though a normal early scan does not exclude subsequent development.
