    Objective: The purpose of this article is to review the published literature and determine the rolethat3-dimensional Ultrasonography (3DUS) play in the diagnosis of LPSVC. Methods: The volume data sets were acquired with transverse sweeps through the fetal chest. Volumes were stored in the ultrasound machine’s hard drive and subsequently analyzed offline. Results: PLSVC was unequivocally diagnosed and the diagnosis confirmed by postnatal US. Conclusion: 3D ultrasonography especially power Doppler imaging made it possible to unequivocally confirm the diagnosis of the LPSVC and demonstrate LPSVC entering the dilated coronary sinus. The images obtained made it easy to explain this anomaly to the patient. This case of isolated LPSVC in a 30 -week fetus demonstrates the added value of 3D.. View More»
