Echogenic foci
Hi Dr,
I am 23 weeks pregnant, my double marker test is low risk. But in the anomaly scan, it was found that the baby has an echogenic
foci in the left ventricle. I did a foetus echo, the same is found but other than that the heart is functioning properly...I am still worried about can there be any down syndrome issue..
