Abstract

Three-dimensional echocardiography is an increasingly used method to accurately depict congenital heart disease in children. We report the case of a 2-month-old girl with supramitral ring. Three-dimensional echocardiography allowed perfect visualisation of the fibrous shelf before surgery.
