Abstract：Objective: By summarizing the echocardiography characteristics of Berry syndrome, the diagnostic value and thoughts of Berry syndrome were evaluated. Methods: The echocardiographic characteristics of six children diagnosed with Berry syndrome by CT examination or surgery in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The diagnostic value and thoughts of echocardiography were summarized and analyzed by reviewing relevant literature. The main pulmonary artery septum, ventricular septum, pulmonary artery branches and other conditions can be detected by multi-section view of apical five cavities, parasternal great artery short axis and pulmonary artery branch, and the condition of aortic arch can be displayed by long-axis view of superior thoracic aorta arch. Results: Six cases of Berry syndrome include: distal aortopulmonary septal defect, aortic origin of right pulmonary artery, interruption of aortic arch(type A), intact ventricular septum, and patent ductus arteriosus, combining with atrial septal defect in four cases, combining with patent foramen ovale in one case, one case with external cardiac malformation(hypospadias). One case of aortic origin of right pulmonary artery was missed. Conclusion: Echocardiography can be used as the preferred diagnostic method for Berry syndrome, which may be associated with extracardiac malformations. However, missing diagnosis may occur, which requires a clear idea of ultrasonic diagnosis.
