Patient's question:
MRI Description of Fetal Biological Measurements:Biparietal diameter: 61mm, Femur length: 41mm, Fetal heart rate: 148 bpm, Placental thickness: 32mm, Amniotic fluid depth: 43mm, Head circumference: 223mm, Abdominal circumference: 197mm, Umbilical artery: PI: 1.16, RI: 0.71, SD: 3.42, Humerus length: 40mm.
Potential chromosomal abnormality markers: CPC-, EB-, IEF. Left ventricle shows a strong echo spot, size 21.9mm. Renal pelvis dilation: -, Lateral ventricle enlargement: -.
One fetus is seen in the uterine cavity, in a head presentation.
Fetal head and face: Skull is seen, midline of the brain is on the left, both thalami are seen, posterior fossa is not widened, cerebellum morphology is still normal. Upper lip is seen.
Four-chamber heart structure is seen, left and right atrioventricular sizes are basically symmetrical, left and right ventricles
Doctor's answer:
Don't be nervous. According to the B scan, your baby's growth and development are normal. Just attend prenatal check-ups on time. Intracardiac strong echoes are a MRI finding, not a heart defect, and are not a definitive diagnosis of fetal heart abnormalities on MRI. They are very common in clinical diagnosis, and the pathogenesis is currently unclear. There are several possible causes: 1. Central deposition of minerals in the papillary muscles 2. Thickening of the intracardiac chordae 3.
