Abstract:

Classification of situs anomalies is difficult and daunting. Patients with situs anomalies often present with variety of cardiac and extracardiac anomalies. Presence of associated anomalies increases morbidity and risk of mortality in neonates. This calls for rapid assessment and management. We report five case series of situs cases from Tanzania who were referred to radiology department from Jul’ 2017 to Nov’ 2018 for radiological imaging. All cases received computed tomography angiography (CTA) for diagnosis.
