Fetal cardiac defects leading to intrauterine cardiac failure and subsequent fetal hydrops are rare. We report an unusual case of a double‐chamber right ventricle leading to progressive fetal cardiac insufficiency and hydrops. The patient was first managed conservatively. Delivery by Cesarean section was performed for a pathological fetal heart‐rate tracing at 28 weeks of gestation. The newborn died 4 h postpartum due to generalized cardiac insufficiency.
