Özet

We described a very rare case of aorto-pulmonary communication with right aortic arch and crossed pulmonary artery that cannot be placed in the typical anatomic classification of aortopulmonary window. At 23 weeks gestation, fetal echocardiography revealed a large tunnel-like communication connecting the great vessels proximal to the main pulmonary artery bifurcation, rather than a classic aortopulmonary window between the ascending aorta and the main pulmonary artery.
