Abstract

Congenital absence of the aortic valve is characterised by the absence of aortic valve and severe regurgitation. The rest of the reported cases were mostly diagnosed either on postnatal echocardiography or autopsy. Here, we present a foetal case with the absence of the aortic valve and “inverse circulatory shunt”.
