Abstract
Ventricular septal defects are usually situated just beneath the aortic cusps, anterior to the undefended space, and are frequently associated with other anomalies, such as pulmonary stenosis and dextroposition of the aorta. Rarely do they occur alone. The following case is unique in the peculiar location and large size of a congenital ventricular septal defect unassociated with other anomalies.
