Prenatal echocardiographic diagnosis of situs inversus totalis and transposition of the great arteries: a case report.
A case of situs inversus totalis and transposition of the great arteries (TGA) was diagnosed prenatally at 25 weeks' gestation. Postnatal echocardiographic examination confirmed the antenatal findings. This case underscores the importance of recognizing situs abnormalities during obstetric and fetal echocardiographic examination, as they are often associated with cardiac anomalies. Accurate prenatal diagnosis of structural heart defects is extremely important in family counselling and in planning obstetric and postnatal treatment.
