Abstract

A 26-year-old mixed-race pregnant woman with a history of apparent health evaluated in a community genetic counseling clinic with increased risk due to exposure to teratogens and mutagens was presented. Fetal echography of the second trimester identified cardiovascular alterations that may have been related to Ebstein's anomaly. Diagnosis that was confirmed in the Provincial Center of Medical Genetics of Guantanamo later was confirmed in Santiago de Cuba. Despite being a rare congenital heart disease, the following were considered: the intensification of the actions in the prenatal care of pregnant women in the community, the realization and fulfillment of the prenatal programs existing in our country, mainly the prenatal ultrasounds that continue being the complementary examination of choice and offer specific genetic counseling in affected families.
