Abstract
Endocardial fibroelastosis is characterized by a diffuse thickenning of the ventricular endocardium. The cause and natural history of endocardial fibroelastosis is uncertain and controversial. Prognosis of endocardial fibroelastosis is variable and use to be severe. Prenatal diagnosis has been reported in a few cases, predominantley detected in the second and third trimester. Here we report the prenatal diagnosis of critical aortic estenosis and endocardial fibroelastosis at 26th weeks of gestational age.
