ABSTRACT

This paper presented a 9 years-old female patient, who went to the family's doctor and was physically examined to detect heart murmur and symptoms of ventricular septal defect. After the corresponding studies, the diagnosis was the corrected transposition of the great arteries. The patient also suffered Ebstein anomaly, atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect and persistence of arteriose duct, all of which worsened her clinical picture. First, she was operated on and the duct was closed. Later the atrial septal defect closed spontaneously, and the Ebstein anomaly patched the ventricular septal defect. The girl developed heart failure and pulmonary hypertension, as a result of associated anomalies. The case is interesting since few cases like this one, associated with other structural heart anomalies that change its natural course, are presented in the international literature.
