Abstract
An unusually echogenic fetal pericardium was visualized using ultrasound at 21 weeks' gestation. Serial prenatal examinations revealed its progressive, spontaneous resolution. Follow-up examinations of the newborn and infant failed to demonstrate any clinical or echocardiographic abnormality. The occurrence of this unusual pericardial abnormality and its transient nature should be considered during sonographic examination of the fetus.
