Tetralogy of fallot with dextrocardia and situs inversus in a 7-year-old boy

Tex Heart Inst J. 2013;40(4):481-3.

Abstract

Tetralogy of Fallot is one of the most frequently diagnosed congenital cardiac abnormalities; however, its association with dextrocardia and situs inversus is reported only rarely. We report a case of these findings in a 7-year-old boy, describe the patient's postoperative course, and review the medical literature relevant to these combined conditions.
