Abstract
Fetal atrial flutter (AF) can occur with structurally normal hearts or congenital heart disease, including atrioventricular septal defect, hypoplastic left heart syndrome, pulmonary atresia, and Ebstein's malformation. 1 It is important to detect fetal AF early and treat it appropriately. We present a case of fetal AF that was treated timely, resulting in no associated complications. The infant was born by cesarean section at a gestational age of 37 weeks with an Apgar score of 9 and 9. The birth weight was 2860 grams. The antenatal history was positive for fetal tachycardia.
