Abstract

Ruptured diverticula and ventricular aneurysms are rare in the fetus, with a limited number of case reports published previously. Additional fetal complications secondary to these ventricular wall abnormalities can be seen. Interventional measures can be considered and attempted either in utero or postnatally to improve the chance of survival. We present a case of a ruptured diverticulum in a fetus and the clinical course.
