Echogenic foci within the left ventricle of the fetal heart represent papillary muscle mineralization. Until more data are available to investigate any possible association with aneuploidy, an echogenic focus in the left ventricle should still be considered a normal variant....
In nine of these 17 infants, the echogenic foci had resolved. In three, the foci have persisted, but none of the children have become symptomatic; the longest period of follow-up with stones still present is 4 1/2 years. Whether all echogenic foci in the fetal gallbladder represent true ...
The goal of the current paper is to present, on the basis of six investigated fetal hearts, the pathological substrate of prenatally, sonographically diagnosed echogenic intramyocardial foci. The right ventricle, left ventricle, interventricular septum and papillary muscles of both ventricles of six he...

Histopathology of fetal heart specimen in one case revealed myxomatous degeneration at the apices of the papillary muscle. Conclusion: Frequency of single ICEF is much higher in the left ventricle, and it is invariably located within the upper third of the anterior papillary muscle in such cases....
Objective: To evaluate cardiac dimensions and function in euploid fetuses with intracardiac echogenic foci. Study design: Forty-eight fetuses with a single cardiac echogenic focus situated in the left ventricle, had echocardiography performed at 22鈥 24 weeks of gestation. Fifty normal fetuses at 22...
Results: Among the 138 fetuses in the study group, 108 (78%) ICEFs were found in the left ventricle, 25 (18%) were found in the right ventricle, and 5 (4%) were found to be bilateral. No statistically significant difference was found between the study and the control group regarding ...
