Prenatal sonographic diagnosis of tetralogy of fallot
The objective of this report was to emphasize the sonographic findings of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) during the prenatal period. Four fetuses with TOF were prenatally diagnosed at gestational ages of 25, 28, 25, and 32 weeks. Based on this small series, prenatal sonographic findings suggestive of TOF...

Four fetuses with TOF were prenatally diagnosed at gestational ages of 25, 28, 25, and 32 weeks. Based on this small series, prenatal sonographic findings suggestive of TOF may be summarized as follows: (1) a large aortic root, which is the most common prenatal sonographic finding, (2) a small pulmonary artery or stenosis of the right ventricular outflow tract, (3) a ventricular septal defect in the outlet portion of the septum, (4) an overriding aorta, which is best seen in the long-axis view, and (5) right ventricular hypertrophy.
