Abstract
Objective: Prenatal diagnosis, postnatal followed up of three cases of cardiac tumor and successful postnatal surgery of one case.
Methods: Treatment and postnatal followed up of three cases of cardiac tumor. Those cases were diagnosed by fetal echocardiography. One of them underwent a successful postnatal surgery.
Results: Three fetuses were diagnosed with fetal cardiac tumor (capable of Rhabdomyoma) at 28, 27, 38 gestational weeks. There were many tumors in one or two ventricles. These cases were referred to Hue Central Hospital for timing and location of delivery in 2019. One of them had obstruction of left ventricular outflow tract with successful surgical resection at 46 hours after birth. One of them had heart failure after birth. Evolution of three cases was favorable, heart failure regressed, cardiac tumors regressed at 7 - 9 months follow up.
Conclusions: Fetal cardiac tumor can be diagnosed prenatally. Those three cases were capable of rhabdomyoma due to the presence of muliple tumors and their regression after birth. Neonatal surgical option should be reserved for the risk of cardiac flow obstruction
