Tetralogy of Fallot: what does this diagnosis mean during pregnancy?

Dr. Andre Miyague March 13, 2026

Receiving the news that there is a heart defect in the baby during pregnancy often generates many doubts and insecurities. Among the congenital heart defects that can be identified prenatally is... Fallot's Tetralogy, a heart condition that is relatively well-known in medicine, but poorly understood by the general public.

In this article, I explain What is Tetralogy of Fallot, how can it be identified during pregnancy, and why is prenatal diagnosis so important for planning the baby's care?.

The goal is to transform a complex medical term into understandable information, without alarmism and always based on evidence.

Fetal tumors: when diagnosis is not a death sentence.

Dr. Andre Miyague September 25, 2025

Receiving the news of a "tumor in the baby" while still in the womb naturally evokes fear and insecurity. It's a powerful word, loaded with meaning and often immediately associated with something malignant.

But it's not always like that.
In fetal medicine, many tumors diagnosed during pregnancy are benign and can be safely monitored until birth.

In this article, I want to clearly explain what fetal tumors are, where they usually appear, what risks are involved, and, most importantly, how we can best care for them with responsibility, planning, and hope.
