Fetal MRI diagnosis of 2 types of left pulmonary artery sling

Fetal MRI diagnosis of 2 types of left pulmonary artery sling

We report on 2 different types of left pulmonary artery sling (LPAS), types IA and IIB, diagnosed by fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We suggest that fetal MRI is an effective tool for accurately diagnosing LPAS and helping guide its perinatal management. Fetal MRI is relatively unaffected by...
