Abstract

We present a 22-week fetus with isolated absent aortic valve and inverse circular shunt. The pregnancy was interrupted. Here, echocardiography and pathology images demonstrate this rare entity. Whole genome sequencing revealed a potentially disease-causing variant in the APC gene. Whole genome sequencing should be considered in severe and rare fetal diseases. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
