With the widespread use of antenatal ultrasonography and the rising popularity of fetal echocardiography, complex cardiac anomalies are being diagnosed more frequently during the antenatal period. This is a case report of an absent pulmonary valve syndrome in a fetus with an intact ventricular septum and a patent ductus arteriosus. This combination of cardiac defects is very rare.

Key Words: absent pulmonary valve • patent ductus arteriosis • ventricular septum
