A 10-day-old neonate with pulmonary consolidation was referred for echocardiography to rule out CHD. At first glance, the morphology appeared to be a bipartite right ventricle with normal tricuspid and pulmonary valves. In-depth analysis, however, of the images showed a double-chambered right ventricle, in which the inlet and outlet portions of the right ventricle were isolated from the apical component of the right ventricle, which itself communicated with the left ventricle through a ventricular septal defect. There was a normal pulmonary valve and tricuspid annulus.
