Unusual Association

SummaryWe describe the unusual association of a divided left atrium (cor triatriatum) with an atrioventricular septal defect with separate atrioventricular orifices in an eight-year-old asymptomatic girl. The diagnosis had been made by cross-sectional echocardiography combined with Doppler technology and color-flow mapping. These methods together demonstrate both the anatomic and hemodynamic findings.

Cross Sectional

SummaryWe present a case of atrioventricular septal defect associated with tetralogy of Fallot which was diagnosed by cross-sectional echocardiography and angiography. The diagnosis was confirmed at necropsy. This case is unusual for the absence of Down's syndrome. We discuss the role of clinical, echocardiographic, hemodynamic and angiographic studies.

The Right

AbstractWe report two female patients, one aged four years and the other a newborn, referred for evaluation of cyanosis with otherwise normal cardiovascular findings, who proved to have the right superior caval vein draining into the morphologically left atrium. In both patients, the diagnosis was made by color flow mapping. The older child underwent catheterization and subsequent successful surgical correction. A right superior caval vein draining into the left atrium, although very rare, should always be considered a diagnostic possibility in the presence of cyanosis and normal clinical findings. Color flow mapping is an excellent method with which to make the diagnosis.

Potential Risk Factors

AbstractCongenital heart diseases have been studied much more extensively in children than in neonates. In this study, we report on the findings from 57 neonates seen from June of 1995 through June 1996 in the nursery of a large public hospital in Belém, Para, Brazil. All were routinely examined by a paediatrician just after birth, and, when indicated, these babies were referred to the cardiology unit of our Hospital for assessment by a paediatric cardiologist. Most of the diagnoses were made by means of Doppler and cross-sectional echocardiography with color flow mapping. Several abnormalities of the cardiovascular system were diagnosed. The most frequent was patency of the arterial duct. But, since many ducts closed spontaneously, ventricular septal defect was the most frequent lesion seen even in the nursery. Four defects (patent arterial duct, ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect and pulmonary stenosis) together accounted for two thirds of all cardiac abnormalities. Associated non-cardiac anomalies were more frequent in those with simple lesions within the heart. All the babies with complex heart disease, and the majority of those designated as having significant lesions, died before they could be discharged. Several risk factors were investigated. Among maternal drugs, misoprostol emerged as having a possible teratogenic effect.
