Abstract

In dextrocardia, the main base-apex cardiac axis is directed to the right side of the chest. The majority of dextrocardia is associated with situs solitus and either normally related or L-transposed great vessels. Dextrocardia with situs inversus is rare and presents in different forms depending on the atrio-ventricular (AV) and ventricular-aterial (VA) relationship. We report a rare case of dextrocardia with situs inversus, AV and VA concordance, a left posterior aorta and a right aortic arch in a preterm twin male infant.
