A criss-cross heart is an uncommon congenital rotational anomaly. It accounts for less than 0.1% of all congenital heart defects. The anomaly is characterized by crossing of the atrioventricular connections caused by rotation of the heart about its long axis. It is commonly associated with diverse cardiac defects. Cardiac CT imaging of criss-cross heart is sparse. We present a case of 1-year-old child with chief complaints of bluish discoloration of the body and fast breathing. Cardiac CT revealed atrial situs solitus, criss-cross-atrioventricular connections, atrioventricular discordance, double outlet right ventricle and dextro-malposed great arteries (Van Praagh S,D,D).

Herlyn–Werner–Wunderlich syndrome is a rare complex congenital anomaly of the urogenital tract involving Mullerian ducts and mesonephric ducts. It is also called OHVIRA syndrome (Obstructed Hemivagina and Ipsilateral Renal agenesis). It is characterized by a triad of uterus didelphys, obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. Patients usually present after menarche with pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, mass, and rarely with primary infertility in later years. We report a case of a multiparous female who presented to the hospital with pain in lower abdomen for the past 2 months and acute retention of urine for 1 day. This is an atypical presentation in a multiparous female that has been described in a single case report so far. 1 Intravenous pyelogram and MRI of the patient revealed uterine didelphys, obstructed right hemivagina causing hematohemicolpos and right renal agenesis. Thorough knowledge of imaging features can enable a radiologist to make a correct diagnosis even in an atypical presentation.
