“…Excessive placental blood returning to the fetal heart occurs when the DV is bypassed, as with a persistent right UV entering the inferior vena cava or right atrium [1], or in the absence of the DV [2]. The pathophysiologic consequences are similar.…”

The ductus venosus connects the portal and umbilical veins with the inferior vena cava and acts as a sphincter to protect the fetus from placental overcirculation. Its absence usually causes hydrops fetalis and is associated with high mortality rate, chromosomal anomalies and congenital malformations. In this condition, the umbilical vein almost always drains directly into right-sided structures such as inferior vena cava or right atrium. We reviewed the literature and describe the first case of a fetus with absent ductus venosus and direct connection of the umbilical vein to the coronary sinus.

“…Persistent right UV was first described in 1826 by Mende [6]. Since then there have been several descriptions of the anomaly [1,3], some of them associated with Noonan's syndrome [4]. DV agenesis was first reported by Paltauf [7] in 1888.…”

“…In the course of normal embryonic development, the right UV degenerates and the left UV is left to carry blood from the placenta to the fetus. Failure of right UV involution results in the PRUV anomaly1, 36–39 (Figure 4). PRUV is the most frequently detected fetal venous system anomaly.…”

The human fetal venous system is well-recognized as a target for investigation in cases of circulatory compromise, and a broad spectrum of malformations affecting this system has been described. In Part I of this review, we described the normal embryology, anatomy and physiology of this system, essential to the understanding of structural anomalies and the sequential changes encountered in intrauterine growth restriction and other developmental disorders. In Part II we review the etiology and sonographic appearance of malformations of the human fetal venous system, discuss the pathophysiology of the system and describe venous Doppler investigation in the fetus with circulatory compromise.
