As control groups, 10 normal fetuses, five cases with a non\u2010isomeric atrioventricular septal defect and five cases with other congenital heart diseases were also analyzed. For all fetuses, one or more cardiac volume datasets were available for offline analysis. Two\u2010dimensional and four\u2010dimensional echocardiography was carried out in all cases at the time of diagnosis using high quality three\u2010dimensional equipment. Dedicated software was used to assess chamber morphology using the SonoAVC technique, which allows the creation of casts of hollow structures. Two different operators used the software. The first performed all steps up to positioning of the region of interest box. The second operator, who was blinded to clinical information, then rendered the cardiac chambers using the SonoAVC technique. This operator then used the rendered image to subjectively assess atrial morphology.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Suitable rendered images of the cardiac chambers could be produced in 40\/42 fetuses. In two cases of left atrial isomerism, advanced (34 weeks) and early (13 weeks) gestational age made it impossible to obtain adequate rendered images. In the remaining 40 cases (13 cases of left atrial isomerism, seven cases of right atrial isomerism, five cases of non\u2010isomeric atrioventricular septal defect, five cases of other congenital heart diseases and 10 normal fetuses), atrial morphology was correctly identified by evaluation of the rendered images.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Four\u2010dimensional ultrasound with SonoAVC rendering allows correct identification of the morphology of atrial appendages in all cases of cardiosplenic syndromes in which an adequate cardiac volume dataset can be obtained for analysis.
