The visceroatrial situs was solitus in all patients including levocardia in five and dextrocardia in two. Of the seven patients, three presented with cyanosis, three with murmur, and one with respiratory distress and heart failure. Age on admission ranged from one month to 13 years. In this article, a total of seven patients with criss-cross morphology were identified from the hospital records and clinical characteristics of these patients and associated congenital cardiac diseases were discussed in the light of the literature data. Abstract A criss-cross heart is an extremely rare congenital cardiac anomaly characterized by crossing of the inflow streams of the two ventricles and almost always associated with other severe cardiac diseases.
