Abstract:

Reverse differential cyanosis is a very rare symptom characterized by cyanosis in the upper extremities without cyanosis in the lower extremities (high SpO2). The combination of aortic coarctation and D-loop transposition of the great arteries is the most common cause of this condition. Here, we present a case of transposition of the great arteries associated with aortic coarctation, which manifested as reverse differential cyanosis immediately after birth.
