Criss-Cross Heart, a Rare Congenital Anomaly: A Case Report

摘要


Criss-cross heart (CCH) is a rare congenital heart malformation. We describe a case of CCH combined with situs inversus, a double-outlet right ventricle, and intra-arterial and interventricular defects. The diagnosis of CCH was first suspected by echocardiography and confirmed by electrocardiographic-gated cardiac computed tomography (CT) for surgical planning. The imaging characteristics of the case included the counterclockwise-rotated right ventricle being right superior and anterior to the left ventricle and crossing atrioventricular connections. In such complicated congenital heart anomalies, cardiac CT could be a useful diagnostic tool by providing better spatial resolution in heart structures and great vessels, thus assisting surgical planning.
