Background: Duodenal atresia (DA) is often associated with anomalies that include annular pancreas, cardiac anomalies, intestinal malrotation, situs inversus, or splenic anomalies. Association of duodenal atresia with complex cardiac anomalies is scarcely reported in the literature. Case Presentation: A term neonate was diagnosed with duodenal atresia and found to have a preduodenal portal vein and malrotation. A gastro jejunostomy was added to the procedure, due to the pre duodenal portal vein. On post-operative day 4, the patient had sudden desaturation. The respiratory system was normal and there was no evidence of septicaemia. On the post-operative echocardiogram, the diagnosis of hypoplastic left heart was made and the patient eventually succumbed to his complex cardiac disease. Conclusion: This is a rare combination of multiple anomalies and we report the clinical and anatomical findings of this patient.

Abstract We describe an infant with duct-dependent hypoplastic left heart complex with moderate hypoplasia of the left ventricle and aortic arch who was not operated due to resource limitations. The left-sided structures grew remarkably due to favourable loading condition changes of the left ventricle, allowing weaning from prostaglandin at the age of 3 months and discharging the patient without intervention.
