The following is the first case of anatomically corrected malposition of the (S, L, D) type clinically diagnosed antemortem and only the second case recorded in the literature. The (S, L, D) notation indicates the segmental set of situs solitus of viscera and atria (S), ventricular l-loop (L), and d-malposition of the great arteries (D). This rare anomaly has the physiologic findings of complete d-transposition. Attempted surgical palliation was unsuccessful.
