Abstract

The paper describes a case of fetal situs viscerum inversus diagnosed by ultrasound. A 28-year-old woman T. at 33 weeks’ gestation went to the center. Visceral ultrasonography revealed that the heart was formed on the left side and located on the left side; its apex was deflected leftwards. In the abdomen, the liver was on the left side, the stomach, spleen, and gallbladder were on the right side. No other visceral abnormality was detected. The correctness of ultrasound diagnosis was verified after childbirth. Conclusion. The antenatal diagnosis of fetal situs viscerum inversus is of great practical importance because it makes it possible to timely identify the presence or absence of a serious comorbid disease and, based on the findings, to decide whether it is expedient to preserve or to terminate pregnancy.
