[Prenatal diagnosis by ultrasound of a very large heart (author's transl)].
Ultrasound diagnosis enabled identification of a congenitally very large heart. Due to this finding, no obstetric intervention was performed despite a foetal emergency situation. Hence, unnecessary surgery was avoided. The principal signs enabling clarification of the case by ultrasound were a vena umbilicalis of 2 cm thickness and the highly dilated heart which occupied 75% of the cross-sectional area of the thorax, besides the clinical clues, hydramnion and hydrops fetus.
