ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to explore the possible etiology and treatment of severe fetal tachycardia in the absence of organic disease and provide a reference for clinical management of severe fetal tachycardia. CASE SUMMARY: A 29-year-old pregnant woman, with a gravidity 1 parity 0, presented with a fetal heart rate (FHR) of 243 beats per minute during a routine antenatal examination at 31 + 2 wk of gestation. Before termination of pregnancy at 38 wk of gestation, the FHR repeatedly showed serious abnormalities, lasting more than 30 min. However, the pregnant woman and the fetus had no clinical symptoms, and repeated examination revealed no organic lesions. The mother and the baby were regularly followed up. CONCLUSION: This was a case of severe fetal tachycardia with no organic lesions and management based on clinical experience.
