Popis:	We present a unique association of fetal malformations very early diagnosed by ultrasoundexamination, at 14 weeks of gestation. A 28-year-old pregnant female, was addressed in a privatemedical center from Bucharest, Romania, for a routine ultrasound screening. A detailed ultrasoundevaluation of the fetus showed numerous and significant cephalic and heart malformations. Theultrasound examination of the fetal head suggest the diagnosis of fetal lobar hydrocephalus, and theultrasound examination of the fetal heart suggest the transposition of the great vessels. The parentswere informed about the severity of the fetal malformations and decided to terminate the pregnancydue to medical reasons. Anatomopathological examination confirmed the prenatal diagnosis. Firsttrimester ultrasonography was crucial in the early prenatal diagnosis and management of themalformed fetus with a unique association of fetal malformations.
