Sumario:Congenital heart block (CHB) is the most severe manifestation of neonatal lupus which can develop into a lethal atrioventricular (AV) block. Complete congenital foetal heart block related to maternal anti-Ro/SSA autoantibodies typically develops between 20 and 24 weeks of gestation. CHB with a structurally normal heart is frequently associated with maternal autoantibodies to Ro/SSA and La/SSB. We are presenting a case of foetal complete CHB with high maternal Ro/SSA and La/SSB titre with favourable outcome.
