Although statistically people with dextrocardia and situs inversus totalis have fewer chances of any congenital cardiac abnormalities; however, its association with tetralogy of fallot (TOF) and patent ductus arteriosus is reported only rarely and can present technical challenges to intracardiac repair. This combination of anomalies is extremely unusual. We report a case of successful surgical treatment of TOF with dextrocardia and situs inversus totalis in a 35-year-old male, and describe the patient′s postoperative course, and review the surgical literature relevant to these combined conditions with unbelievable presentation history
