Background: Truncus arteriosus (TA) is a rare complex cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) with significant morbidity and mortality. There are few reports on the pattern of TA in Nigeria. Objectives: To determine the pattern of TA in patients at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Methods: A three-year retrospective audit of the hospital records including echocardiograms and cardiac tomography scans where available, of consecutive patients diagnosed with TA was undertaken. Results: Twenty children, 10 boys and 10 girls had TA; median age at diagnosis was 6.5 months, range: 11 days-90 months, mean (SD): 16.8 ± 21.8 months. The mean weight was 7.3 ± 4.4 kg, range: 2.65-17.0 kg and the mean oxygen saturation was 72.5 ± 17.3%, range: 36-89%. Sixteen children (80.0%) had type I and 4 (20.0%) had type II TA. Types III and IV TA were not seen. The truncal valve was tricuspid in 12 (60.0%), quadricuspid in 7 (35.0%) patients, and bicuspid in one (5.0%) patient. Truncal valve regurgitation occurred in 10 (50.0%) patients; 60.0% were mild. Associated cardiac defects included patent ductus arteriosus [PDA (15.0%)], mitral atresia (15%), atrial septal defects, major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (10%), left superior vena cava (5%), tricuspid atresia (5%), common atrium (5%). Conclusions: Although TA is a critical CCHD, diagnosis is often late in our setting. Type I is the most common variant and associated anomalies include PDA, mitral and tricuspid atresia.
