title: Giant right atrium in a foetus.
abstract: Giant right atrium is a rarely reported condition, especially in intrauterine life. It may be mistaken with pericardial effusion and Ebstein's anomaly, which are more common causes of right atrial enlargement. We present a case of prenatal diagnosis of giant right atrium detected at 29 weeks of gestation by fetal echocardiography.
