We report a very rare case of an infant with visceroatrial situs inversus presenting mirror image Berry syndrome (aortopulmonary window, interrupted aortic arch, anomalous origin of the left pulmonary artery, and intact ventricular septum). Successful surgical treatment was accomplished 56 days following the initial rescue bilateral pulmonary artery banding.
