Summary/Abstract: Ivemark syndrome (IS) is a rare embryological disorder caused by the lack of development of right-left asymmetry of organs. It is often associated with cardiac and other organ abnormalities, which are the usual causes of death in early neonatal life. (1) Detailed ultrasonographic evaluation performed in early gestational weeks (11-14 weeks) is very important in terms of early detection of fetal structural anomalies, as well as aneuploidy screenings. It should be kept in mind that isomerism can be diagnosed in early gestational weeks and non-immune hydrops may develop in these fetuses, resulting in fetal death. In our literature search, we found a limited number of case reports related to İvemark syndrome. Our case is 36 years old, G6P1A4Y1, 24 weeks pregnant according to LMP (last menstrual period): he does not have any features in his medical obstetric history. We aimed to contribute to the literature by presenting our clinical approach to the patient referred to our clinic with a preliminary diagnosis of fetal complex cardiac anomaly and situs ambigus
