Abstract

A child with the unique combination of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and scimitar syndrome is presented. Her HLHS was diagnosed in utero, and her scimitar syndrome was discovered during her immediate newborn period. She underwent a successful Norwood operation complicated by supraventricular tachycardia given her Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome. She has also undergone successful Glenn shunt and at this writing is thriving.
