As a result of above findings, the appearance of the club hand was visualized (Fig. 1). 3D ultrasound of the fetal upper limb showed a short forearm with associated bowing, as seen in Fig. 2.

Fetal heart examination was performed starting from a four-chamber view, using real-time scanning, and color Doppler was used to detect the presence of VSD during the phase of shunt between the right and left ventricles (Fig. 3).
Transabdominal ultrasound with color Doppler through fetal heart in four-chamber view confirms the finding of VSD showing the flow of blood from one ventricle to other (shown in blue)

It also enabled the flow crossing the septum, indicating a septal defect, to be detected accurately (Fig. 4).
