To evaluate the features of prenatal ultrasound examination of cardiac rhabdomyoma (CR) and its prognosis.
Methods:
Imaging data of fetal cardiac tumors detected by prenatal ultrasound examinations
information of prenatal and postnatal fetal brain MRI results
and genetic test results were retrospectively analyzed to assess the prognosis of CR and its association with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).
Results:
A total of 36 cases were detected by prenatal ultrasound examinations
including 3 cases lost to follow-up. For the 33 cases included in the analyses
10 were single
and 23 were multiple. Most of the lesions were local
ized in the left or right ventricles. Five of the 33 CR cases had abnormal cardiac function. Prenatal or postnatal MRI discovered 16 cases combined with subependymal or cortical nodule lesions. And the incidence rate of TSC was 48.5% (16/33). Six cases of TSC underwent genetic tests
and
TSC
1 or
TSC
2 gene mutations were reported in 5 of them. All 14 delivered TSC cases had normal cardiac function
CR in 9 cases disappeared
9 cases had frequent or occasional seizures
and 7 cases had mental retardation or developmental delays.
Conclusion:
Prenatal ultrasound examination is the preferred method of detecting fetal cardiac tumors. In combination with brain MRI and genetic tests
prenatal ultrasound examination can be used to detect the coexistence of TSC. Therefore
prenatal ultrasound examination is of great significance in the management of perinatal period and guidance of prognosis.
