Prenatal Diagnosis of Ductus Arteriosus Aneurysms and Neonatal Outcome: Two Case Reports and Literature Review

View through CrossRef
Ductus arteriosus aneurysm is a rare condition characterized by a saccular or tubular dilatation of the ductus with potentially fatal outcome due to complications such as rupture, thromboembolism, and infection, compression of adjacent structures and coarctation of the aorta [1]. Association with connective tissue disorders such as Marfan and Ehlers-Danlos syndromes are also described [2,3]. Therefore, we aimed to describe two recent cases of aneurysm of ductus arteriosus assessed by fetal echocardiography and their neonatal outcomes.
