Summary: | A case is reported with sonographic examination performed in the second trimester of pregnancy, in which the presence of a double aortic arch was suspected. Fetal echocardiography, performed at Cardiocentro Pediátrico "William Soler", a reference center for prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease in Cuba, confirmed the suspicion of such diagnosis performed at a primary health care center. The double aortic arch is a rare congenital abnormality; this condition, together with the few cases with prenatal diagnosis reported in the literature, led us to its publication.
Se presenta un caso, con examen sonográfico realizado en el segundo trimestre de la gestación, en los cuales se sospechó la presencia de un doble arco aórtico. El estudio ecocardiográfico fetal, realizado en el Cardiocentro Pediátrico "William Soler", centro de referencia para el diagnóstico prenatal de cardiopatías congénitas en Cuba, confirmó la sospecha del referido diagnóstico realizado en la atención primaria de salud. El doble arco aórtico es una anomalía congénita poco frecuente; situación esta que, junto a los pocos casos referidos en la bibliografía con diagnóstico prenatal, motivó su publicación. |
