Criss-cross heart with complex cardiac malformation, situs inversus totalis and bronchial dysplasia
CCH is a rare congenital heart condition characterized by twisted atrioventricular connections, with complex associated anomalies. Diagnosis is challenging due to the variety of defects. CT angiography is crucial for comprehensive assessment and surgical planning. This case presented a unique combination of CCH with mirror dextrocardia, situs inversus totalis, and bronchial malformation, highlighting the importance of CT in guiding treatment decisions. However, postoperative follow-up is lacking, and optimal surgical strategies for such complex deformities remain to be explored.
