We report a case of fetal congenital heart disease prenatally diagnosed as critical aortic valve stenosis at 25 weeks of gestation. Fetal echocardiography demonstrated severe mitral regurgitation, aortic valve stenosis, hypocontractility of the left ventricle, and showed retrograde flow in the aortic arch like HLHS (hypoplastic left heart syndrome). However, soon after delivery, improvement in the baby's hemodynamics and myocardial contractility were recognized without any treatment.
