“…In this period, the opinion of TOF is generally achieved during childhood. When compared to 50 years ago, a review of TOF cases demonstrated that 17.6% of the studied population was further than 25 years old at the time of opinion (10) . Despite the individual tools advancement and a better understanding of the condition compared with former centuries, there are still some delayed donations being reported.…”

Background: Tetralogy of Fallot is usually diagnosed while the baby is a child or soon after. Occasionally, depending on the inflexibility of the symptoms, tetralogy of fallot isn't detected until adulthood. All infants who have tetralogy of fallot need repair or surgery. Infants with tetralogy of fallot need regular doctor's checks for the remaining life and may have some restrictions. Methods: We present a case 14 year old female patient name XXX was admitted to the cardiology ward, with the chief complaints of palpitation, shortness of breath, intermittent chest discomfort, unable to sleep on the left side, unable to move during sleep, dyspnea on exertion for 5 days. She was not on any past medication but she had been using OTC medications from childhood whenever she feels pain and it will be reduced by taking rest for 10-20 mins, the patient was alright now she can do all her activities without other's support, but unable to move during sleep and unable to sleep on the left side from past 5 days. Results: Her lab investigations were echo cardiogram report showed right ventricular hypertrophy, over-ridding of the aorta, pulmonary stenosis, bidirectional shunt, and ventricular shunt, and she was diagnosed as teratology of fallot. Conclusion: Tetralogy of fallot is a condition that is primarily present in infants it should be carefully observed and diagnosed at earlier ages.

Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is considered the most frequent cyanotic congenital heart abnormality with a low adulthood survival rate if kept untreated. The majority of cases are symptomatic during infancy and mandate early treatment. Few instances of survival to asymptomatic middle-age patients have been reported, and they are decreasing due to early detection. We reported a case of a middle-aged man who was asymptomatic during his life and recently diagnosed with ToF. The patient underwent surgical repair with excellent outcomes. The case represents the possibility of diagnosing such cases in a relatively old patient despite medical development and advances.

“…8 Among 147 TOF adult patients, there were 2 (1.4%) patients with dextrocardia. 2 The altered anatomical location and orientation of the heart typically makes it necessary for the surgeon to carry out the repair from the patient’s left side, including visualization and closure of the VSD as well as relief of RVOT obstruction. This atypical arrangement may make it more difficult to repair the defects (VSD closure, RVOT, and pulmonary artery extension).…”

“…1 Tetralogy of Fallot with dextrocardia is a rarely seen pathology with a rate of 1.4%. 2 To the best of our knowledge, so far there has been one case reported since 1965 of TOF associated with both anomalous major coronary branch and dextrocardia, that case having been encountered in Japan. 3 Accordingly, we report here a case with TOF with dextrocardia and anomalous coronary artery which was successfully repaired.…”
