Cardiac CT of a Criss-Cross Heart: A Case Report

A criss-cross heart is an extremely rare congenital anomaly that is commonly associated with complex cardiac defects. The literature on imaging of such a condition is limited. In particular, cardiac CT imaging of criss-cross heart is sparse. We present a case of a full-term infant with criss-cross heart, in which cardiac CT delineated the complex heart anatomy and confirmed known echocardiographic findings. Utilizing cardiac CT in criss-cross heart increases the treating physicians confidence before embarking on a final surgical approach.
