Question
The child has undergone an ultrasound showing a continuous interruption of about 2.6 millimeters at the top of the ventricular septum. I want to know how severe is the ventricular septal defect?
Answer
Ventricular septal defect is a common congenital heart defect, and its treatment is relatively easy compared to other heart problems. Generally, there is a chance for the defect to close spontaneously within two years of age, but the possibility of spontaneous closure decreases after two years, and surgical treatment may be required. It is recommended to consult with a doctor for detailed advice and treatment plans.
