Abstract :
Univentricular heart is an uncommon congenital heart disease. While early surgical intervention increases chances of survival, there are reports of individuals with uncorrected univentricular heart living into adulthood in western literature. In this report we present two cases of Nigerian adolescents, 12 and 16 years with different types of univentricular heart.Neither of them have had surgery, one of the cases died from transfusion related complication while the second one is alive and is being prepared for surgical intervention
