ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Both hypoplastic left heart syndrome and ventriculo-coronary communication are extremely rare congenital cardiac conditions. CASE The diagnosis of hypoplastic left heart syndrome combined with endocardial fibroelastosis and ventriculo-coronary communication was made in a pregnant woman at 24 weeks of gestation. Interestingly, unlike diastolic flow from the coronary artery to the left ventricle in typical ventriculo-coronary communication, this fetus showed a systolic flow from the left ventricle to the coronary artery.CONCLUSION:
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to present only a systolic flow signal in hypoplastic left heart syndrome combined with ventriculo-coronary communication in prenatal ultrasonography.Key words
