Transthoracic echocardiography is the principal imaging modality for assessment of patients with atrioventricular septal defects. Three‐dimensional echocardiography streamlines and simplifies data acquisition offering a unique realistic en‐face display of heart valves and septal defects and enables accurate evaluation of the cardiac anatomy, dynamic, and function. We demonstrated an added value of three‐dimensional echocardiography in assessment of an adult patient with atrioventricular septal defect and its advantages over conventional echocardiography.
