Abstract
A case of congenital malformations with several unusual features is reported. These features include situs inversus viscerum below the diaphragm but not above; dextroposition of the heart; cessation of development of the heart at the fifth-sixth week stage of embryonic development; persistence of a truncus arteriosus with pulmonary arteries branching from this; two superior venae cavae and a left-sided inferior vena cava; and very abnormal pulmonary veins. © 1939.
