Key result
Fetal right atrial thrombosis with congenital right atrial enlargement underwent spontaneous in utero resolution, emphasizing the need for timely detection to monitor progression.
Highlights the importance of early detection and monitoring of congenital right atrial enlargement to manage complications like thrombosis.
Alerts clinicians to possible spontaneous resolution in fetal right atrial thrombosis; leaves open optimal surveillance strategies pending larger series.
We present an extraordinary case of congenital enlargement of the right atrium diagnosed at 31 weeks of gestation. This case emphasizes the fact that timing of the detection of this particular cardiac malformation is of capital importance to tract the optimal treatment strategy in order to monitor further progression (in this case accompanying thrombosis) and prevent complications.
