Congenitally corrected transposition of the great vessels

IMAGING FINDINGS:

Sequential images from the helical CT examination demonstrate the trabeculated morphologic "right" ventricle on the left side communicating with the morphologic "left" ventricle via a ventricular septal defect [figure 2]. The aorta arises from the "right" ventricle and lies anterior to the pulmonary artery and to the left of midline [figure 3]. Sagittal reconstruction again shows the anterior lying aorta and demonstrates the critical subpulmonic stenosis [figure 4]. The patient subsequently underwent successful repair of his ventricular septal defect and pulmonic stenosis.
