Crisscross heart (CCH) is a rare anomaly characterized by twisting of the inflow streams of right and left ventricles. The etiology of CCH is not known. Its frequency is less than 8/10, 00,000 live births. Cyanosis is common in neonatal age, while shortness of breath is the main presenting complaint in older children. We present a case series of CCH with array of associations, diagnosed by echocardiography. CCH is a rare heart defect that can be diagnosed by echocardiography by a vigilant operator. Early diagnosis is the key to successful management resulting in increased survival rate, better outcomes and improved quality of life.
