Abstract
The incidence of congenital heart disease (CHD) is 2.4-3.8/1000 live births. Up to 70.7 % of all cases of CHD are reported to be benign; complex heart anomalies are extremely rare. Our case is extremely rare, as we report three very rare findings-truncus arteriosus, anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ARCAPA), and unilateral left pulmonary artery agenesis-in a single patient. Congenital complex cardiac abnormalities are very rare, and two-dimensional echocardiography screening should be supported by cardiac computed tomography (CT). We report a case of truncus arteriosus associated with ARCAPA and left pulmonary artery agenesis diagnosed by cardiac computed tomography; we believe that such an unusual case with all three of these entities has never been reported before.Entities:
