Double-Chambered Left Ventricle Diagnosed in Fetus and Follow-up During the First Year of Life: A Case Report

Abstract

Double-chambered left ventricle (DCLV) is a rare congenital cardiac lesion. It is usually an incidental finding in children and young adults. Diagnosis during fetal life is exceedingly rare. We report a case of DCLV diagnosed in the prenatal period associated with a ventricular septal defect (VSD). Transthoracic echocardiographic and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the prenatal findings. At seven-month follow-up, the baby was asymptomatic. Transthoracic echocardiographic check-up revealed spontaneous closure of the VSD and stable aspect of the main left ventricle and the accessory chamber.
