One of the extremely rare systemic venous anomalies is double left brachiocephalic veins (LBVs). In the current work, a rare association of double LBVs with a vascular ring and normal intracardiac anatomy is described in fetal life with postnatal confirmation using echocardiography and computed tomography. The prenatal diagnosis of such an infrequent lesion is feasible using fetal echocardiography. Despite the smooth prenatal and postnatal course, potential risk during certain interventions or surgeries should be highlighted in parent counseling.
一种极其罕见的体静脉异常是双左头臂静脉（LBV）。在目前的工作中，描述了一例罕见的双 LBV 与血管环和正常心脏内解剖结构相关联的病例，该病例在胎儿期通过超声心动图和计算机断层扫描进行了确认，并在产后得到证实。使用胎儿超声心动图可以对这种罕见病变进行产前诊断。尽管产前和产后过程较为顺利，但在向家长提供咨询时，仍应强调某些介入或手术过程中的潜在风险。
