Complete atrioventricular septal defect is generally diagnosed on the four-chamber view of the fetal heart. This defect can be accompanied by additional outflow tract lesions, including truncus arteriosus. Although truncus arteriosus in isolation can be associated with interrupted aortic arch, we describe a fetal case with the rare association of all three diagnoses: complete atrioventricular septal defect with truncus arteriosus and interrupted aortic arch. This case points to the importance of evaluating the complete fetal heart even after one congenital cardiac abnormality is noted. The complexity of heart disease has implications for prenatal counseling and postnatal management.
完全性房室间隔缺损通常在胎儿心脏的四腔心切面被诊断出来。这种缺损可能伴有其他流出道病变,包括永存动脉干。虽然孤立的永存动脉干可能与主动脉弓中断有关,但我们描述了一例胎儿罕见地同时合并这三种诊断:完全性房室间隔缺损合并永存动脉干及主动脉弓中断。该病例指出,即使在发现一种先天性心脏异常后,评估完整的胎儿心脏仍很重要。心脏病的复杂性对产前咨询和产后管理都有影响。
