The congenitally corrected transposition refers to a malformation in which the atrial andventricular chambers present discordant connections, being also discordant the ventricularchambers with the originated from each of them vessels.

We propose to report the current case, evidencing theimportance of adequate interpretation of four chambers, left ventricle short axis and threevessels echocardiographic views in the prenatal diagnosis of congenital cardiopathies.
