ABSTRACT
Premature constriction of the ductus arteriosus is rare, but it can occur during fetal life idiopathically or secondary to medications or structural lesions. Premature constriction of the ductus arteriosus can lead to progressive right heart dysfunction, heart failure, subsequent hydrops fetalis, and even fetal death. Herein, we describe a case of fetal ductus arteriosus constriction of unknown etiology with a severely enlarged and hypertrophied right ventricle, which resolved dramatically soon after birth.
