vascular ring, fetal echocardiography, three vessel and trachea view.Abstract
Congenital anomalies of the aortic arch and its branches may cause compression of the esophagus and trachea and be responsible of secondary compressive symptoms but frequently have an asymptomatic course. Advances in fetal echocardiography and the three vessel and trachea view (3VT) with a proper visualization of upper mediastinumallows accurate diagnosis of vascular rings. Detection of these abnormalities requires to rule out further congenital malformations and to detect genetic anomalies. Prenatal diagnosis contributes to detect postnatal asymptomatic cases and its systematic prenatal detection would allow estimating a real prevalence of vascular rings in the general population.
