A SMALL MASCULAR VENTRICULAR DEFECT IN FETAL ULTRASOUND
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SIGNIFICANCE????
IF VSD IS ISOLATED ,MASCULAR AND VERY SMALL THEN THE PROGNOSIS IS GOOD
AFTER BIRTH OF BABY ,OBSERVATION IS NEEDED
BUT IF VSD IS ASSOCIATED WITH ANY OTHER SOFT MARKER LIKE SINGLE UMBILICAL ARTERY,VENTRICULOMEGALY,CHOROID PLEXUS CYST THEN GENETIC TESTING IS REQUIRED TO RULE OUT GENETIC ABNORMALITY
AMNIOCENTESIS IS ADVISED IN SUCH CASES TO RULE OUT CHROMOSOMAL
