Magnetic resonance imaging of fetal persistent left superior vena cava

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for persistent left superior vena cava (LSVC). Prenatal echocardiography (echo) and/or ultrasound (US) and MRI data for 49 fetuses with persistent LSVC, confirmed via postnatal diagnoses between J...

Prenatal echocardiography (echo) and/or ultrasound (US) and MRI data for 49 fetuses with persistent LSVC, confirmed via postnatal diagnoses between January 2010 and October 2015, were retrospectively reviewed. All prenatal MRI was performed at 1.5 T. Imaging sequences included steady-state free-precession (SSFP), single-shot turbo spin echo (SSTSE), and other sequences. All 49 cases of fetal persistent LSVC were correctly diagnosed via MRI, but only 34 cases (69.4%) were correctly diagnosed via an initial US and/or echo before MRI. Of the 15 cases that were not correctly diagnosed via US and/or echo, 8 had congenital heart diseases (CHDs) and 7 were without CHDs; however, they were associated with extracardiac abnormalities or maternal obesity. Thirty-five cases were associated with other cardiovascular abnormalities; 8, with extracardiac abnormalities; and 6, with no associated condition. In 44 (89.8%) cases, the innominate veins were absent; the remaining cases had innominate veins. In 14.3% of patients (7 cases), the persistent LSVC drained directly into the atrium.
