Truncus arteriosus (TA) is an uncommon congenital
cardiovascular anomaly that is characterized
by a single arterial trunk arising from the
normally formed ventricles by means of a single
semilunar valve. The anomaly is thought to result
from incomplete or failed septation of the embryonic
truncus arteriosus. Truncus arteriosus with
anterior origin of a main pulmonary artery is a
very rare condition. In this report we present a
newborn who has a truncus arteriosus with anterior
origin of a main pulmonary artery.
