abstract: A 7-year old female child was admitted for recurrent bronchopulmonary since one week of life. She was diagnosed to have ventricular septal defect and was treated conservatively. At seven years of life, repeat echocardiogram revealed a large perimembranous ventricular septal defect, absent pulmonary valve with overriding of aorta, narrow pulmonary artery annulus, and dilated main pulmonary artery and its branches. She was treated conservatively, discharged and follow-up at the National Heart Institute Kuala Lumpur, for corrective surgery.
