Arti- cles on intracardiac echogenic foci published in the English- language medical literature were identified through a computerized search (MEDLINE, US National Library of Medicine) from 1985 to June 1998, using the terms 'echo- genic focus', 'echogenic foci' and 'fetal heart'. Additional ...
Congenital heart malformations in the fetus with intracardiac echogenic focus in low vs high risk pregnanciesAsleh, NNseir, THaj, NAzayzeh, H
PURPOSE: To determine whether there is a relationship between the presence of an echogenic intracardiac focus in 2nd-trimester fetuses and trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A complete genetic ultrasonographic (US) scan was obtained in 3,303 consecutive fetuses with an estimated gest...
Had my anomaly scan recently, and there are 2 observations mentioned in the report for the fetus: 1. Small echogenic focus in left ventricle 2. Mild pcs fullness with APD of 3.2mm in left kidney. Please let me know, is there anything to be worried about these? Will they cure ...
Results Echogenic foci occurred in 905 of 6904 fetuses scanned, but after excluding those referred specifically because of an echogenic focus and those with heart defects, the incidence was 9.5%. Overall, echogenic foci were more frequent in fetuses with trisomy 21 than those without by a factor...
A detailed structural survey by ultrasound (USG) of the fetal heart was performed on each fetus in the mid-trimester of pregnancy. All patients had mid-trimester triple tests performed between the 16th and 18th weeks' of pregnancy. We recruited a total of 40 pregnancies that had fetal IHF ...
An echogenic focus or foci were defined as a structure or structures within the fetal heart with echogenicity similar to or greater than that of the surrounding bone. Unusually appearing foci were defined as lesions of unusual size, shape, structure or location. Three fetuses had unusually large ...
fetusprenatal screeningsoft markerultrasoundEchogenic intracardiac focus and choroid plexus cysts are common findings at the midtrimester ultrasound. These findings have been linked with an increased risk of Down syndrome and trisomy 18. Most fetuses with these findings will, however, not have ...
We prospectively identified each fetus with an echogenic intracardiac focus. Results A total of 150 fetuses with this sonographic finding were identified. The incidence rate was 2.15%. In 114 patients (76%), prenatal karyotyping was performed. The aneuploidy rate was 4.4%. Conclusions The echogenic...
