OBJECTIVES: We reviewed our institution's experience with fetal @entity299 to document the clinical outcome and incidence of associated @entity2916 ( @entity2916 ) and compared our findings with those of @entity1 diagnosed with @entity299 after birth. STUDY DESIGN: We reviewed the medical records of all cases diagnosed prenatally and postnatally with @entity299 between January 1990 and June 2002. RESULTS: Twenty fetuses with @entity299 were diagnosed at 28.4+/-6.0 weeks' gestational age. Of 19 continued pregnancies, there was one spontaneous intrauterine @entity204 , and 18 were delivered at term. Although none had prenatal hemodynamic complications, after birth seven had @entity299 requiring medical (n=4) or surgical intervention (n=3). On follow-up, 15 of 19 with available outcome had @entity2916 (79%), including six with @entity16 . Over the same period, 26 @entity1 were diagnosed with @entity299 postnatally. Most (77%) were referred for cardiac assessment after findings suggesting @entity2916 . On follow-up, @entity2916 was confirmed in 25 (96%), including 22 with @entity16 . The incidence of @entity299 and @entity2916 was not statistically different between the prenatal and postnatal diagnosis groups. CONCLUSIONS: @entity299 are benign from the cardiovascular standpoint in most affected fetuses. As observed in postnatally diagnosed @entity299 , @entity2916 is diagnosed in most cases of fetal @entity299 .
