This fetal echocardiogram demonstrates the following findings:
1) Heterotaxy with the stomach on the fetal right and the heart on the fetal left
2) An atrioventricular septal defect with a large primum atrial septal defect and common atrioventricular valve, with little of that orifice committed to the hypoplastic posterior left ventricle.
3) An aorta transposed anteriorly to the large right ventricle.
4) A hypoplastic pulmonary artery arising posteriorly, which appeared to arise from the hypoplastic left ventricle. There was retrograde flow by color Doppler (not shown in the volume) consistent with critical pulmonary stenosis or pulmonary atresia.
The following appeared normal:
1) Atrial situs
2) Pulmonary veins returning to the left atrium.
3) The right superior and inferior vena cava returned to the right atrium.
4) The right ventricular wall motion was normal.
