A complete atrioventricular canal defect occurs when an embryonic common atrioventricular valve fails to divide completely into 2 common atrioventricular valves. Tetralogy of Fallot is an abnormal embryologic development in which an unequal conotruncal division results in a small pulmonary artery and a large aortic artery. We report a case of prenatal diagnosis of a complete atrioventricular canal defect associated with tetralogy of Fallot. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2008
