Abstract

Right atrium aneurysms are entities which are rarely reported in cardiologic practice, especially in intrauterine life, and may be mistaken with pericardial effusion and Ebstein's anomaly. We show a review of the literature and illustrate with a case of prenatal diagnosis of right atrium aneurysm running through with hydropsy signs.
