What is Echogenic Intracardiac Focus (EIF)?

Spotted a bright spot in your baby’s heart during an ultrasound? It’s called Echogenic Intracardiac Focus (EIF) – a minor and usually harmless finding.

✅ It’s not a heart defect
✅ Doesn’t affect heart function
✅ Seen in 3–5% of normal pregnancies

🔍 We report it only because it can be a soft marker for chromosomal conditions like Down syndrome.

👉 If other tests are normal, EIF alone is not a concern and usually disappears by 26–38 weeks.

Ever heard of a “bright bowel” on a baby scan?
It’s called foetal echogenic bowel, and while it sounds scary, it’s usually just a marker—not a defect.

What does it mean?
It simply shows the baby's intestines appear brighter than usual on ultrasound. But don’t panic!
💡 Sometimes, it’s as simple as the baby swallowing a bit of blood from early pregnancy bleeding.
Other times, it may signal something more—like Down syndrome, infections, or growth concerns.

But here’s the key takeaway:

➡️ Most babies with echogenic bowel turn out to be completely normal.
The goal is to investigate, not to worry.
Eat well, follow up regularly, and stay informed.
