摘要
We report a case of fetal myocarditis without conductive abnormality in a pregnant woman with anti-Ro/La antibodies. Fetal echocardiography showed myocarditis with ventricular and valvular hyperechogenicity, which was confirmed by postnatal transthoracic echography. Treatment with dexamethasone (4 mg/day) was started in the 22nd week of gestation. The outcome was good, with the child remaining asymptomatic 2 years later. This observation describes one of the rare forms of fetal myocarditis with favorable outcome. (C) 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
