Romano-Ward syndrome is a rare, autosomal-dominant cardiac conduction defect associated with syncope and life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia in children and adults.
A fetus was noted to have moderate fetal bradycardia in the antenatal period. When studied postnatally, the child was found to have Romano-Ward syndrome.
This is the first reported case of Romano-Ward syndrome diagnosed prenatally as fetal bradycardia. This report confirms that moderate fetal bradycardia does not indicate fetal distress, but it does indicate that fetuses should be studied for cardiac conduction defects in the neonatal period.
Romano-Ward综合征是一种罕见的常染色体显性遗传性心脏传导缺陷，与儿童及成人的晕厥和危及生命的室性心律失常相关。
一名胎儿在孕期被发现有中度胎儿心动过缓。产后检查发现该儿童患有Romano-Ward综合征。
这是首例产前诊断为胎儿心动过缓的Romano-Ward综合征病例报告。该报告证实，中度胎儿心动过缓并不表明胎儿窘迫，但确实提示应在新生儿期对胎儿进行心脏传导缺陷检查。
