Diaphragmatic hernia
stomach herniates into chest or heart herniates into abdomen
On which side is a diaphragmatic hernia more common?
Left
A diaphragmatic hernia on the left side is known as?
hernia of Bochdalek
Sonographic findings of a diaphragmatic hernia
small abdominal circumference, heart and stomach seen on same plane
Ectopia cordis
ectopic heart; located outside of chest
Pentalogy of Cantrell
abdominal wall defect, diaphragmatic hernia, lower sternal cleft, ectopia cordis, VSD
Most common defects seen from the Pentalogy of Cantrell
abdominal wall defect (omphalocele) and ectopia cordis
Hydrops fetalis
abnormal interstitial accumulation of fluid
Immune fetal hydrops
caused by Rh antibodies in maternal circulation that destroy the fetal RBCs
Nonimmune fetal hydrops
results from infection or TORCHS

Pleural effusion is also called?
hydrothorax
Coarctation of the aorta
stenosis of the aorta
Coarctation of the aorta causes what heart anomalies?

thickened and flaccid tricuspid valve; incompetent and decreased mobility
Ebstein anomaly is also known as?
tricuspid dysplasia
Sonographic appearance of Ebstein anomaly
enlarged right atrium
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS)
dilatation of right ventricle and pulmonary trunk; left ventricle not visualized
HLHS is caused by?
aortic atresia or mitrial valve stenosis
