Hemitruncus arteriosus is among the rarest congenital cardiovascular defects. Pathology usually involves the right pulmonary artery. It may occur either isolated or associated with other cardiac defects such as septal defects and tetralogy of Fallot; however, it is seldom associated with aortic arch pathologies. We represent an unusual case of a 15-day-old neonate with left-sided hemitruncus arteriosus associated with aortic arch hypoplasia, coarctation of the aorta, patent ductus arteriosus, and craniofacial abnormalities, who underwent surgical correction.
