Abstract
Fatal tricuspid insufficiency secondary to papillary muscle rupture due to prenatal hypoxic insult occurred in a full-term newborn. The diagnosis of flail tricuspid valve should be considered when fetal distress is encountered in a newborn with persistent hypoxemia. Prenatal diagnosis of this condition combined with prompt delivery, prostaglandin E1 therapy, and possible surgical repair of the tricuspid valve may improve chances of survival.Entities:
