Abstract

Objective: Our aim was the documentation of the cases with fetal heart malformation that have been diagnosed in Department of Obstetrics and Gyneacology, Faculty of Medicine, Kahramanmarafl Sütçüimam University between December 2003 and December 2004. Methods: This study includes the patients who admitted to the Department of Obstetrics and Gyneacology during the last year, in their 14th to 35th gestational weeks for routine ultrasonographic control (low risk group, n:300) and/or those who are referred due to abnormal ultrasonographic findings (high risk group, n:300). Ultrasonographic images of cases with cardiac anomalies diagnosed prenatally were recorded and the study is accomplished with detailed postmortem evaluation and gathering of neonatal data. Results: Thirty-nine patients (7%) had an anomaly. While 9 anomalies (23%) were detected in the low risk group having routine ultrasonography, the remaining 30 (77%) anomalies were among the high-risk group. Cardiac anomalies (n:13, 33%) and neural tube defects (NTD) (n:13, 33%) consist the majority of fetal anomalies. Of 13 patients with fetal cardiac anomaly; 5 (38%) had abnormal cardiac image, 4 (31%) had extra cardiac anomaly on ultrasonography, and one (7%) was referred due to history of a baby with cardiac anomaly in her previous pregnancy (high risk group). Only 3 (24%) patients were in the low risk group and were diagnosed during routine ultrasonography. Nine patients (70%) with fetal cardiac anomaly had abnormal four-chamber view. Among those; 8 (62%) of them were terminated with parent’s consent due to intrauterine and postnatal high mortality of chromosomopathy or cardiac anomaly. Chromosomal analysis revealed chromosomal anomalies in 3 (%25) of the 12 patients with cardiac anomalies. The incidence of chromosomal anomalies in fetal cardiac anomalies was especially high with accompanying intracranial anomalies. Conclusison: Fetal cardiac anomalies consist the most frequently encountered group at our clinic among patients who are screened for congenital anomalies. It must be kept in mind that chromosomal anomalies and additional anomalies, especially intracranial, may accompany this malformation.

Özet

Amaç: Aralık 2003 – Aralık 2004 yılları arasında Kahramanmaraş Sütçüimam Üniversitesi, Tıp Fakültesi, Obstetrik Kliniğinde tespit edilen fetal kalp anomalilerini içeren olguların dokümante edilmesi. Yöntem: Bu çalışmada, son bir yıl içinde 14-35. gebelik haftaları arasında rutin ultrosonografik kontrol için başvuran (düşük riskli grup) (n:300) ve/veya ultrasonografide anormal bulgu nedeniyle refere edilen (yüksek riskli grup) gebeler (n:300) değerlendirmeye alındı. Prenatal dönemde kalp anomalisi tanısı konulan olguların incelemesi detaylı postmortem değerlendirme ve neonatal verilerin elde edilmesi ile tamamlandı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan hastaların 39’unda (%7) anomali mevcuttu. Dokuz (%23) anomali rutin ultrasonografiye giren düşük riskli grupta saptanırken, diğer 30 (%77) anomali yüksek risk içeren grupta tespit edildi. Fetüste tespit edilen anomaliler içinde en büyük grubu; nöral tüp defektleri (n:13, %33) ile birlikte kalp anomalileri (n:13, %33) oluşturdu. Fetal kalp anomalili 13 olgudan; 5’i (%38) anormal karlp görüntüsü, 4’ü (%31) ultrasonografide ekstra kardiyak anomali ve bir olgu da (%8) önceki gebeliğinde kalp anomalili bebek öyküsü nedeniyle sevk edilmiş idi Sadece 3 olgu (%24) düşük riskli grupta yer almaktaydı. Fetal kalp anomalisi tespit edilen 9 olguda (%70) dört odacık görüntüsü normal değildi. Bunlardan, 8’i (%62) kromozom veya kardiyak anomalinin intrauterin ve postnatal dönemde yüksek oranda ölümcül seyretmesi nedeniyle ailelerin izniyle sonlandırıldı. Kromozom tayini yapılan kalp anomalili 12 olgudan üçünde (%25) kromozom anomalisi mevcuttu. Fetal Kalp Anomalili olgularda kromozom anomali sıklığı özellikle intrakranyal ek anomaliler ile birlikte artıyordu. Sonuç: Fetal kalp anomalileri kliniğimizde anomali taraması için incelenen hastalar içinde, en sık rastlanılan grupta yer almaktadır. Kromozom anomalilerinin ve özellikle intrakranyal ek anomalilerin, bu malformasyona eşlik edebileceği hatırlanmalıdır.
