Here we report a case of fetal left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy with ascites and cardiac dysfunction at a gestational age of 34+5 weeks. Laboratory tests did not reveal any sign of viral infection in utero. A female neonate weighing 2436 g was delivered by emergency cesarean section due to non-reassuring fetal status. Postnatal echocardiography confirmed left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy with severe cardiac failure. Although she was treated effectively during the acute period by continuous flow peritoneal dialysis, surgical ligation of a patent ductus arteriosus, and inhaled nitric oxide, she died on day 41 of life. Symptoms of severe cardiac dysfunction appeared antenatally in this patient and the outcome was poor.
