These chest X rays show right ventricular enlargement, a small pulmonary artery trunk and decreased pulmonary vascularity. The PA view suggests right ventricular enlargement by the
upturned apex. The
small pulmonary trunk is evidenced by the absence of a convex shadow in the left hilar area. Pulmonary vascularity is also diminished, as evidenced by the absence of distal vascular lung markings. These findings are characteristic of Tetralogy of Fallot. Note also the right-sided
aortic arch demonstrated by the vascular density along the upper right heart border and the
displacement of the trachea to the left. Right-sided aortic arch is seen in about 25% of patients with tetralogy of Fallot.
