Presentation
Congenital atrichia presents as total alopecia at birth, but sometimes scalp hair can be present at birth which is later shed between the first few months, after which no further regrowth occurs. [ijtrichology.com]
We report a 2-year-old male child presenting with total alopecia of scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and body hair since birth. The child had cardiac malposition with situs inversus of the viscera. [read.qxmd.com]
Management: depends on the particular pathology present. Ectopia cordis The heart is present outside the thoracic cavity. It is a very rare anomaly. Thoracic form: The heart is present on the anterior chest wall. [cardiologyforyou.blogspot.com]

The pain of appendicitis is referred to the left lower quadrant, 30 and the pain of biliary colic presents in the left upper quadrant ( Figure 3-13 ). [clinicalgate.com]
Lacking ST elevation and typical chest pain, these ECG findings suggest OLD inferior wall myocardial infarction. The patient also has dextrocardia. [metealpaslan.com]

It is usually associated with cyanotic congenital heart disease. The aim of this report is to illustrate the anatomical features of normal and juxtaposed atrial appendages, with a review of the associated anomalies. [unboundmedicine.com]

- Heart Block
Hence it is a non cyanotic condition and may be missed unless there are other associated anomalies like ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis or congenital complete heart block, which are the common associations of L-TGA. [cardiophile.org]
block with bradycardia is common in polysplenia syndrome ( Fig. 3–9 ). 4,5,11,14 – 16 It is often associated with an AVSD ( Fig. 3–10 ). 4,5,14 – 16 AV block is apparently related to malformation and degeneration of the conduction system in these hearts [radiologykey.com]

- Forgetful
Overall, our daughter is a normal little baby and we usually completely forget there's anything even "wrong" with her. I'm sure you'll feel the same with your little one. Keep me updated on what you find out. [whattoexpect.com]
Workup
The diagnoses of these rare congenital cardiac anomalies were uncovered only after a thorough workup. Mesocardia is extremely rare and accounts for only 0.2% of congenital anomalies. [casereports.bmj.com]
Axis
- Right Axis Deviation
ECG showed sinus tachycardia with right axis deviation and abnormal wave pattern in all leads. [scidoc.org]
ECG features of dextrocardia include: Right axis deviation Positive QRS complexes (with upright P and T waves) in aVR Lead I: inversion of all complexes, aka global negativity (inverted P wave, negative QRS, inverted T wave) Absent R-wave progression [bcs.com]
In November at a screening we had during our second trimester we were also told our baby has a single umbilical artery (2 vessel cord instead of 3) and mesocardia with a right axis deviation of her heart. [whattoexpect.com]
