Abstract :

Congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries (cc–TGA) is a rare condition that accounts for less than 1% of all congenital heart diseases (CHD). Patients with cc–TGA are usually diagnosed at the early stages of life due to associated anomalies, but they may even remain asymptomatic until later decades of their life. We report a case of a 45–year–old man who presented to the emergency department with unknown poison ingestion, in whom isolated cc–TGA was discovered incidentally. The patient was completely asymptomatic of cardiac features at presentation other than an abnormal ECG, which arouse the suspicion of cardiac abnormality and led us to do a thorough cardiac evaluation. Interestingly, the patient had congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (cc–TGA) with no associated anomalies but with conduction abnormalities, which is a rare CHD with late adulthood presentation.
