Abstract

We describe one case of endocardial cushion defect during the second trimester when a consultative fetal echocardiography was undertaken for fetal intrauterine growth retardation with oligohydramnios. Positive cytomegalovirus IgM in cord blood and cytomegalovirus DNA particles in the amniotic fluid were found incidentally. The relationship between possible intrauterine cytomegalovirus infection and the endocardial cushion defect in this case is not clear.
