Key result
Prenatal Uhl's anomaly achieves healthy 9-year survival without surgery or cardiac medications.
Why the study?
Uhl's anomaly is rarely diagnosed antenatally and prenatal diagnosis is important for optimizing perinatal care and improving infant survival.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Supports possibility of excellent outcomes in select Uhl's anomaly cases; leaves open identification of favorable prognostic features.
Uhl's anomaly is rarely diagnosed antenatally. It is a condition characterised by partial or complete absence of the right ventricular myocardium and the heart conducting system. We present a case of Uhl's anomaly diagnosed during fetal life on prenatal ultrasound, with eight years postnatal follow-up.

Matic et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Uhl's anomaly (n=1). Prenatal ultrasound and echocardiography was evaluated. A fetus diagnosed with Uhl's anomaly via prenatal ultrasound at 29 weeks gestation survived and remained healthy without surgery or regular cardiac medications at nine years of follow-up.
