A child with truncus arteriosus communis, characterized by the posterior
origin of an individualized pulmonary trunk is presented. This relationship
between the great arteries is unusual in truncus arteriosus communis and
the spatial orientation resembles that seen in transposition of the great
vessels. A brief discussion is proposed about a proper terminology in this
type of complex anomaly.
