ABSTRACT

Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) is a complex congenital heart disease in which both great arteries arise predominantly from the right ventricle, leading to highly variable anatomical and physiological manifestations. Its accurate diagnosis and classification are critical for surgical planning and long-term outcomes. Echocardiography remains the gold-standard diagnostic tool, enabling real-time visualization of ventriculoarterial connections, septal defects, outflow tract anatomy, and associated anomalies. It guides surgical planning by defining VSD position, routability, and ventricular function. Case studies highlight echocardiography’s accuracy in detecting anomalies and its correlation with catheterization and MRI. Emerging technologies, including AI-assisted analysis, 3D printing, and hybrid imaging, are enhancing diagnostic precision and personalized surgical strategies. However, challenges such as technical limitations in neonates, operator dependency, and variable expertise persist. We are presenting a rare case report of neonatal DORV afflicting a two week old male neonate associated with multiple cardiac anomalies.
