What Could The Heart Spot Found In The Ultrasound Scan Be?
Dear Dr
My wife is 22 months pregnant. Last Friday we had the five month scan/ultra sound in order to check for any syndromes.
Everything was perfect heart/organs/toes/fingers except one thing.
There was a small white spot in the heart of the baby.
The actinologist told ud that he did not found anything else and that factor by its own it is common and not to worry about.
My wife is 27.
Please let me know of your opinion because we are a bit stressed.
Thanks
Marios

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
1] Please do not panic.
2] What USG doctor is saying , can be a small calcification in the small finger like muscles of heart wall - Papillary muscles.
3] this finding is seen in many cases, please do repeat follow up after 4 weeks. You can also get 2 D echo test of the baby done from a expert cardiologist. But usually, this finding does not have significant impact , if there are no other abnormal findings.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
