Fetal dextrocardia is a type of cardiac malposition where the major axis
from base to apex points to the right side. This condition is usually
associated with a wide spectrum of complex cardiac defects. As a result,
dextrocardia is conceptually difficult to understand and diagnose on
prenatal ultrasound. The advantage of four-dimensional sonography with
spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) is that this modality can
facilitate fetal cardiac examination. A novel method known as fetal
intelligent navigation echocardiography (FINE) allows automatic
generation of nine standard fetal echocardiography views in normal
hearts by applying intelligent navigation technology to STIC volume
datasets. In fetuses with congenital heart disease, FINE is also able to
demonstrate abnormal cardiac anatomy and relationships when there is
normal cardiac axis and position. However, this technology has never
been applied to cases of cardiac malposition. We report herein for the
first time, a case of fetal dextrocardia and situs solitus with complex
congenital heart disease in which the FINE method was invaluable in
diagnosing multiple abnormalities and defining complex anatomic
relationships. We also review the literature on prenatal sonographic
diagnosis of dextrocardia (with an emphasis on situs solitus), as well
as tricuspid atresia with its associated cardiac features.
