Abstract
Congenitally Corrected- Transposition of Great Arteries is a rare congenital heart disease where double discordance occurs. It may present with associated cardiac anomalies. Children with CC-TGA get diagnosed usually at an early stage in their lives due to these associated anomalies. We report a diagnosed case of congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries in a 12-year-old boy who presented with abdominal pain with a history of previous surgery for hydrocephalus. On further examination and imaging, it was found that his shunt had migrated to his peritoneum and coiled. He underwent revision ventriculo-peritoneal shunting and laparoscopic removal of the previous shunt from his abdomen.- Article View: 11
