- Abstract
The article presents a case report on the prenatal diagnosis at 23 weeks of a fetus with mitral atresia, double-outlet right ventricle, premature closure of the foramen ovale and a levoatrial cardinal vein draining into the innominate vein. It mentions that a levoatrial cardinal vein is a rare cardiovascular anomaly that may be present in malformed hearts with severe left heart obstruction. The prenatal management, induction at 38 weeks and postnatal examinations and treatment are discussed.
