Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a common condition accounting for 10%–20% of all fetal cyanotic congenital heart disease cases. Pulmonary artery sling (PAS), or aberrant left pulmonary artery, is a rare congenital cardiovascular malformation. Approximately 58%–83% of PAS is associated with other cardiovascular malformations, TOF being rarest. The diagnosis of PAS is generally incidental or made at autopsy. Cases of prenatal diagnoses of TOF associated with PAS have not yet been reported. Here, we report two cases of TOF associated with PAS diagnosed prenatally in our hospital.
