An echogenic focus was found in the right ventricle of my baby s heart during my 20 week ultrasound. I ve been panicking about this. My doctor said everything else on the anatomy ultrasound looked normal and is sending me to a specialist to have another sonogram done. Is this something I should be worried about?
Han echogenic focus in ventricle is one of the most common abnormal findings that is picked up in fetal heart. In many of the occasions its is associated with an uneventful pregnancy and a normal baby. Yet I would suggest that you confirm the second scan and rule out any other abnormalities. Occasionally echogenic focus may be associated with other congenital anomalies. But this is not very common. Hope this helps.
