Abstract

Congenital arteriovenous fistulas involved with the abdominal aorta are very rare. Left-sided subrenal inferior vena cava (IVC) with normal connection to the heart is also rare and has not been reported prenatally. In this article, we described a fetus with aorta-porto-umbilical vein fistulas combined with a left-sided IVC.

Keywords
