Zusammenfassung: | Ebstein’s anomaly is a rare type of congenital heart defect characterized by a malformation of the tricuspid valve and the right side of the heart. This case study presents a well-documented case of Ebstein’s anomaly that was diagnosed prenatally using sonography. The ability of prenatal sonography to detect and accurately diagnosis this case allowed for a change in the management of the pregnancy to properly evaluate the condition and prepare for treatment. In addition, information regarding Ebstein’s anomaly is reviewed and specifically addresses etiology, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, characteristic sonographic appearance, and common differential diagnoses. |
