Overview
An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of TGA. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of TGA include egg on a string appearance of the heart, increased pulmonary vascular markings, and cardiomegaly.
Chest X Ray
- It may be normal in the first few days of life
- “Egg on a string” is the classic X Ray finding of this condition. It is so called as the arteries form a pedicle due to transposition.
- Pulmonary vascular markings are often normal or increased if the condition is associated with ventricular septal defect
- Ascending aorta occupies the left border of the cardiac silhouette and has straight profile in L -TGA
