Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection remains a difficult diagnosis to make prenatally. The absence of normal pulmonary veins entering the left atrium may provide an indication of an abnormality. The authors discuss a case of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in conjunction with hypoplastic left heart syndrome that was diagnosed in utero.

Key Words: congenital cardiac anomaly • fetal echocardiography • total anomalous pulmonary venous connection • ultrasound
