Resumen
SANTIAGO-SANABRIA, Leopoldo et al. Prenatal assessment of heterotaxy syndrome by fetal ultrasound. Perinatol. Reprod. Hum. [online]. 2023, vol.37, n.2, pp.84-89. Epub 02-Oct-2023. ISSN 2524-1710. https://doi.org/10.24875/per.23000010.
Heterotaxy syndrome is a low prevalence entity, which originates during embryonic development, affecting diverse organs and systems. That is why its diagnosis represents a challenge during pregnancy. The prognosis depends mainly on the associated cardiac malformations. The case of a patient with a diagnosis of heterotaxy syndrome during the first trimester is presented. The ultrasound patterns obtained during the first trimester screening that helped to integrate the diagnosis of this entity are detailed, as well as the associated cardiac anomalies. Management must contemplate a multidisciplinary team, which provides timely management, which will be mainly surgical, focused on cardiac malformations.
