Patient's question:
At 23 weeks of pregnancy, the ultrasound shows a strong light spot in the left ventricle of the fetus. What could be the situation?Doctor's answer:
Strong echo spots refer to high-echoic points that appear in the region of the bilateral ventricular papillary muscles on the standard four-chamber view of the heart. 7% of them are found in both ventricles. Most of them are presented as a single high-echoic spot inside the ventricle, while a few are presented as multiple high-echoic spots. Intraventricular high-echoic spots are generally an assessment item in the second-trimester ultrasound screening.
