Hypoplastic left heart syndrome in mirror-imaged arrangement.
To date, almost all patients reported with hypoplasia of the left heart have had usual atrial arrangement, with a small proportion known to have left or right isomerism. As far as I am aware, however, only one patient has previously been described with mirror-imaged arrangement of the heart and organs. In this report, I describe the second case.
