Uncorrected pink tetralogy of Fallot in an adult patient: Incidental CT findings
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), one of the most common congenital heart diseases, has four major components: right ventricular hypertrophy, overriding aorta, membranous ventricular septal defect, and right ventricular outflow tract obstruction.1If not already present at birth, cyanosis develops in the fi...
