| Popis: |
We report three pregnancies where enlarged nuchal translucency was discovered at the first trimester transvaginal ultrasound examination; congenital heart disease developed later. Two cases of hypoplastic left heart were diagnosed prenatally at the mid-trimester sonographic examination. The pregnancies were terminated. In the third case, a supravalvular pulmonary stenosis was discovered on the second day of life. Further investigations demonstrated a mutation on the elastin locus, thus confirming the diagnosis of Williams-Beuren syndrome. The role of nuchal translucency as a risk marker for congenital heart disease is discussed. |
