Truncus arteriosus

Truncus arteriosus (TA) is a rare congenital cardiovascular anomaly characterized by a single arterial trunk arising from the heart by means of a single semilunar valve (<I>i.e.</I> truncal valve). Pulmonary arteries originate from the common arterial trunk distal to the coronary arteries and proximal to the first brachiocephalic branch of the aortic arch. TA typically overrides a large outlet ventricular septal defect (VSD). The intracardiac anatomy usually displays situs solitus and atrioventricular (AV) concordance.

Polysplenia is a congenital disease manifested by multiple small accessory spleens.

	The persistent truncus arteriosus is extremely rare in the setting of the polysplenia syndrome, but the present case report demonstrates that these anomalies may, at times, occur.
