A Case of Corrected Transposition of the Great Vessels without Associated Intracardiac Anomalies

Abstract

Corrected transposition of the great vessels is almost always associated with other intracardiac anomalies. Patients without associated anomalies are extremely rare.
A 13-year-old boy with corrected transposition of the great vessels without associated intracardiac anomalies is presented and discussed. The characteristic combination of auscultatory, electrocardiographic and roent-genologic features was present.
