Aortopulmonary window is a rare congenital heart defect. About 300 cases have been published in the world literature. It has been associated with complex heart defects, which makes it difficult to diagnose. We present a case of a minor infant with symptomatology of congestive heart failure; during stay in intensive care unit presents multiple co-morbidities. Subsequent to that, it is taken to corrective cardiac surgery with weight inferior to 2000 grams, with satisfactory evolution. The importance of early correction is emphasized in order to avoid progression to irreversible pulmonary vascular disease.

Keywords : aortopulmonary window; congenital anomaly; heart disease.
