Abstract


Detection of aortic arch anomalies prenatally is rare. Right aortic arch is a subgroup of aortic arch anomalies. In this paper, we report an isolated right aortic arch case that is detected in the 22nd week of pregnancy. Prenatal diagnosis is crucial for prenatal genetic counselling and approach in neonatal life.
