Abstract

The double discrepancy (DD) is an exceptional cardiopathy, manifested by atrioventricular and ventriculo-arterial discordances. DD is rarely diagnosed in the antenatal period and is often found in adults when cardiac complications occur. We describe six cases of DD, the different forms, their ultrasound semiology, and the assessment of prognosis, correlated with the existence of associated cardiac anomalies.
