Key result
A 9-month-old infant was diagnosed with the extremely rare dual occurrence of a criss-cross heart and Taussig-Bing anomaly, a combination not previously reported in the literature.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report describes the first known instance of a criss-cross heart associated with a Taussig-Bing anomaly in a single patient.
Expands known phenotypic spectrum of criss-cross hearts; leaves open questions on embryology and management in this rare entity.
Criss-cross heart is an extremely rare anomaly, characterized by an abnormal rotation of the ventricular mass along its major axis that is the apical part twists about t heir long axes while the base of the heart and the atrio-ventricular (AV) valves remains fi xed. Due to the complex structural changes and rarity of the anomaly, the rotation of ventricular axis is often misdiagnosed. Though associated with multitudes of ventriculo-arterial discordances; we report an extremely rare case of criss-cross heart presented in late infancy associated with Taussig-Bing anomaly which has never been reported earlier in the literature to the best of our knowledge.

Sinha et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Criss-cross heart and Taussig-Bing anomaly (n=1). A 9-month-old infant was diagnosed with the extremely rare dual occurrence of a criss-cross heart and Taussig-Bing anomaly, a combination not previously reported in the literature.
