What does the USG report with absent Septum indicate?
Patient: Please suggest about a comment in a USG report of a 37 weeks pregnant lady. Comment is about septum. Sonologist writes that septum seen in his last report dated on 03-03-11 and today he says, septum could not be seen presently. is there anything to be worry? Kindly reply urgently with your opinion. Avinash sharma. Jaipur. YYYY@YYYY Doctor: Hello dear and thanks for posting your query here.I understand your concern.As the septum was seen in last sonography but not in the latest one. It is almost impossible for the septum to vanish because a structure once formed generally stays and doesn't disappear.Moreover the lady is already 37 weeks pregnant, so just go ahead with the delivery but plan it in a tertiary centre so that the NICU backup support is there.Once the baby is born, get an urgent Echo to confirm the exact condition of the heart.I hope this information would be of help to you.Thanks and all the best.
