Abstract
Transposition of great arteries is one of the most common and severe congenital heart diseases, but also one of the most mysterious. It represents 5% of all congenital heart diseases and 34% of trunk-cone defects with situs solitus. Without treatment, 30% of cases die before the first month and 90% before the first year. We present a case of a patient with this heart disease, in whom the common images do not meet the diagnostic criteria, because a rare extracardiac association (left pulmonary agenesis) would change the clinical management.
