A case of prenatally diagnosed fetal hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is reported. The mother was referred to our department at 37 weeks' gestation because of suspected congenital heart disease. Prenatal echocardiography showed biventricular hypertrophy and pericardial effusion, without additional abnormalities. Postnatal echocardiography confirmed prenatal diagnosis. Neonatal EKG showed biventricular hypertrophy and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Skeletal muscle biopsy was consistent with mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation defect involving a combined defect of respiratory complexes I and IV. Echocardiographic followup during the first year of life showed progressive regression of hypertrophy and evolution to left ventricular myocardial noncompaction.

A case of prenatally diagnosed aortopulmonary window is reported. The mother was referred for fetal echocardiography at 26 weeks' gestation because of suspected congenital heart disease. Prenatal echocardiography showed an aortopulmonary septum defect close to the pulmonary artery bifurcation and a left-to-right shunt flow in systole and early diastole detected by color flow Doppler. Postnatal echocardiography confirmed prenatal diagnosis, the aortopulmonary window was a 9-mm type III aortopulmonary window. An atrial septal defect with shunt flow left to right was also found. Surgical repair was performed 4 weeks after birth, the postsurgical period was uneventful and the newborn was discharged without complications 7 days after surgery.
