Aorto-ventricular tunnel is a rare congenital heart disease. The disease should be considered in infants with clinical signs of aortic regurgitation. In this article, we present a five-year-old male case of aorto-ventricular tunnel, who was misdiagnosed as aortic regurgitation due to rheumatic involvement, then diagnosed with aortoventricular tunnel. The differential diagnosis and surgical treatment of aortoleft ventricular tunnel were discussed.
