From fetal cardiac axis deviation to postnatal neurovascular diagnosis: road to a diagnosis of vein of Galen malformation

Key Points

• Fetal cardiac axis deviation was 65.9°, an abnormal finding indicating potential complications.
• The infant faced respiratory distress after birth, emphasizing the urgency of postnatal diagnosis.
• Antenatal ultrasound identified the deviation, allowing for early intervention considerations.
• The findings suggest that fetal cardiac assessments can be crucial for diagnosing vascular malformations.
