Biventricular Badness: Rare Images of Ebstein Anomaly of the Tricuspid Valve in a Patient with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

We report a rare case of hypoplastic left heart syndrome coexisting in a patient with Ebstein anomaly of the tricuspid valve, which has previously been described only in pathological studies. A fetal echocardiogram at 27-weeks gestation showed severe aortic stenosis with evolving hypoplastic left heart syndrome, significant endocardial fibroelastosis, a dysplastic tricuspid valve with moderate regurgitation, right atrial and ventricular dilation, and signs of fetal congestive heart failure. Due to inadequate left heart size, the patient was not a candidate for fetal intervention for critical aortic stenosis, and repeat studies showed progression of the lesion through the pregnancy. The infant was delivered at 36-weeks gestation with signs of hydrops, and a postnatal echocardiogram confirmed hypoplastic left heart syndrome as well as severe Ebstein anomaly of the tricuspid valve. The infant did not survive to intervention.
