Abstract

We report a case with very early antenatal diagnosis of aortico-left ventricular tunnel (ALVT) at 22 weeks of pregnancy. Early recognition of ALVT by antenatal ultrasound allows prompt neonatal management and avoidance of harmful aortic valve regurgitation. The present case is unique because of the conjunction of very early antenatal diagnosis, prompt postnatal management, early surgical repair on the sixth day of life, direct closure from the aorta of the aortic orifice only, and optimal postoperative course with excellent mid-term result.
