Abstract
Aortico-left ventricular tunnel is a rare congenital anomaly that presents as aortic
regurgitation and congestive heart failure in childhood. Its association with a ventricular
septal defect is even more rare. Because of the distortion of the normal anatomy around
the aortic valve and the rarity of this combination of defects, the diagnosis of aortico-left
ventricular tunnel with ventricular septal defect may be difficult. The two-dimensional
and Doppler echocardiographic findings of aortico-left ventricular tunnel are described.
