Abstract
Background: Aortopulmonary window with Tetralogy of Fallot is a rare cardiac defect with very few reported cases in literature. Case: We report surgical management of incidentally detected type 1 aortopulmonary window in a case of tetralogy of Fallot during routine intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography. Conclusion: Aortopulmonary window with Tetralogy of Fallot is a rare entity and the two pathologies mask the signs and symptoms of each other. Surgical correction is feasible and associated with good outcome.
