Abstract
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the commonest form of cyanotic congenital heart disease, with overall incidence accounting for 10% of all congenital heart disease. Natural survival into the fourth decade is extremely rare (only about 3%). After corrective surgery, the life expectancy has increased, so increasing number of women with cyanotic congenital heart disease with pregnancy are coming to hospitals, thereby imposing a great challenge to obstetricians. We have discussed below a rare case of pregnancy with uncorrected TOF in a 24 year old woman. [Int J Reprod Contracept Obstet Gynecol 2013; 2(4.000): 677-679]
