We present the pediatric case of a patient who had aortopulmonary window with interrupted aortic arch, intact ventricular septum, and pulmonary artery sling that was imaged with echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging. This case is unique because this combination of findings has not been previously reported. The diagnosis was made without the need for angiography, and the findings were confirmed at surgery. This case shows that complex congenital heart defects can be accurately imaged by noninvasive methods.
