Pediatrics : the hygienic and medical treatment of children . Fig. 2i8—Complete Transposition of the Great Vessels. \&l. Fig. 219—Complete Transposition of the Great Vessels with Defective Interventricular Septum Differential Diagnosis of Congenital Cardiac Lesions 29 torsion does not occur, or is slightly reversed, the aorta will arise infront and to the right, the pulmonary artery behind and to the the first form of transposition there is a sympathetic adjustmentof the interventricular septum in its union with the aortopulmonaryseptum, which causes each great vessel to open into its proper ven-tricle. This form is called by Rokitansky corrected transposi-tion. In the second form the interventricular septum unites withthe malposed aortopulmonary septum without sympathetic adjust-ment, causing the aorta to open from the right ventricle and thepulmonary artery from the left ventricle. This is called completetransposition. SYMPTOMS.—Corrected transposition may occur as the solelesion, and has no recognizable symptoms. When associated withother lesions, only the symptoms of the associa
