Abstract:
Situs inversus totalis is a rare congenital condition resulting from abnormal rotation of the cardiac tube during embryogenesis. Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a rare heart defect that occurs when the pulmonary veins fail to connect normally during the development of the embryo. Herein, we describe the case a 30-month-old girl who presented with recurrent respiratory infections and dyspnea. Transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography angiography revealed situs inversus totalis, partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection of left pulmonary veins, large atrial septal defect, and severe pulmonary hypertension. Surgical repair was performed with excellent result. After a follow-up period of one year, the patient was asymptomatic with important clinical and radiological improvement.
