MR imaging of subaortic and retroesophageal anomalous courses of the left brachiocephalic vein in the fetus
The purpose of this study was to report fetal cases of subaortic and retroesophageal anomalous courses of the left brachiocephalic vein (LBCV) evaluated by fetal cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A retrospective review of 7282 fetal cardiac MRI from June 2006 to March 2017, nine cases of ano...

description | The purpose of this study was to report fetal cases of subaortic and retroesophageal anomalous courses of the left brachiocephalic vein (LBCV) evaluated by fetal cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A retrospective review of 7282 fetal cardiac MRI from June 2006 to March 2017, nine cases of anomalous courses of the LBCV were correctly diagnosed by fetal cardiac MRI, one case of abnormal subaortic left brachiocephalic vein (ASLBV) missed by fetal MRI was identified postnatally during further imaging of the TOF. The diagnosis was confirmed postnatally by cardiac CT/MRI. An ASLBV was found in 8 cases, a retroesophageal LBCV was found in 2 additional cases with right aortic arch and aberrant left subclavian artery. 3 of 8 ASLBV cases were with a right aortic arch, 4 ASLBV cases had additional cardiovascular anomalies with one case isolated. 7 of 8 ASLBV and 2 retroesophageal LBCV were correctly diagnosed by fetal cardiac MRI; however fetal cardiac MRI missed 2 cases of associated pulmonary atresia (PA). Prenatal echocardiography (echo) correctly diagnosed five ASLBV and one retroesophageal LBCV as well as associated intracardiac anomalies. Fetal cardiac MRI can be a useful adjunct in the identification of subaortic and retroesophageal anomalous courses of the LBCV prenatally. |
