Abstract

Previous studies have demonstrated the individual association of subpulmonary tissue tags, dissection of the pulmonary trunk and primitive neuroectodermal tumors with congenital heart disease. We are reporting a case of double inlet left ventricle with all these associations as it is exceptionally rare for all features to be manifest in one individual.
