Key result
Prenatal 4-chamber view ultrasound detects 5 morphological HLHS variants frequently linked to posterior fossa disorders.
Why the study?
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome has several morphological variants that can be diagnosed prenatally by fetal ultrasound, but detailed descriptions of these variants are limited.
Can prenatal fetal ultrasound at the 4-chamber view level detect and characterize morphological variants of hypoplastic left heart syndrome?

Can prenatal fetal ultrasound at the 4-chamber view level detect and characterize morphological variants of hypoplastic left heart syndrome?
Prenatal fetal ultrasound at the 4-chamber view level is an important tool for detecting and characterizing morphological variants of hypoplastic left heart syndrome.

Pribadi et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) (n=5). Prenatal fetal ultrasound was evaluated on Morphological variants of HLHS. Prenatal fetal ultrasound at the 4-chamber view level identified 5 cases of varying morphological variants of hypoplastic left heart syndrome, with 4 cases associated with posterior fossa disorders.
