Abstract

The neuro-cutaneous syndrome tuberous sclerosis is commonly associated with rhabdomyomas in various organs including the heart. We are reporting a rare case of a 7-month old male child with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries associated with tuberous sclerosis and cardiac rhabdomyomas. To our knowledge, this rare association has not been reported so far.
