Özet

Objective: Congenital ventricular aneurysms located in the right ventricle are very rare abnormalities. Case(s): We describe a case of prenatal diagnosed right ventricle aneurysm which ended with favorable outcome. Fetal echocardiograp-hy demonstrated a 20x20 mm aneurysmal image outpouching from the basal region and free wall of the right ventricle in a 35-year-old multigravida woman at her 37th gestation week. This case had intermittent bradycardia in the postpartum first days. In pediatric cardiology examinations at the 1st, 3rd, 6th month and 1st year postnatally, it was observed that aneurysmatic formation partially regressed compared to the prenatal period. Conclusion: Prenatal diagnosis of these abnormalities allows to have a favorable prognosis via a multidisciplinary collaboration in intraute-rine and postnatal period.
