Abstract

A 34-year-old pregnant woman (gravida 2, para 1) was referred to our echocardiography laboratory for fetal heart echocardiography. She had no history of congenital heart disease either in herself or in her family, and her previous child was normal. A previous sonographic examination had demonstrated nothing abnormal, but lab screen tests were suggestive of spina bifida.
