ABSTRACT

Background:

Ebstein anomaly is an uncommon, complex congenital malformation of the heart with prevalence of 0.3-0.5%. It occurs in 1% of congenital heart disease cases. It is characterized by dysplastic abnormalities of tricuspid valve which in-volves both basal and free attachments of the tricuspid valve leaflets, with downward displacement and elongation of the septal and anterior cusp which resulting in tri-cuspid regurgitation, the proximal part of the right ventricle is "atrialised", becoming thin walled and poorly contractile, along with an enlarged right atrium. With this anomaly, fertility is usually unaffected, even in women with cyanosis. The average life expectancy at birth of patients with Ebstein anomaly is 25-30 years. Due to its rarity and varied clinical presentations associated with Ebstein anomaly during preg-nancy, this case was presented in this paper
