AbstractCardiac tumours in newborns are often asymptomatic and can be sporadically detected on routine screening unless they result in intractable arrhythmias or haemodynamically significant obstructions causing heart failure. Their presentation as a cause of congenital cyanosis is never anticipated. We report a rare case of a newborn presenting with congenital cyanosis consequent to suspected cardiac rhabdomyoma causing tricuspid inflow obstruction. Our experience with this patient with two large cardiac masses illustrates the significance of its inclusion in the differential diagnosis of perinatal cyanosis, as early detection and surgical management might be the only lifesaving options, if performed well in time.

Noninfectious cerebral aneurysms are rare in patients with congenital cyanotic heart disease. We present a patient with DiGeorge/velocardiofacial syndrome with a complex congenital cyanotic heart disease with a ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm. The 10-year-old child was managed by surgical clipping of the aneurysm. Surgical challenges included prominent veins in the Sylvian fissure, difficulty in differentiating arterial and venous bleed, and anesthetic risks. The patient recovered without any neurological deficits. This is the first report of a patient with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, with a noninfectious cerebral aneurysm.

Introduction: Winging of scapula is defined as a failure of dynamic stabilizing structures that anchor the scapula to the chest wall, leading to prominence of the medial border of scapula. It could be primary, secondary, or voluntary. Primary winging could be true winging due to neuromuscular causes or pseudo-winging due to osseous or soft-tissue masses. A scapular osteochondroma is a very rare presentation site and causes pseudo-winging leading to pushing away of the scapula away from the chest wall presenting as medial border prominence. Here, we are reporting a rare case of a scapular osteochondroma causing a pseudo-winging of the scapula. Case Report: A 2-year-old male child presented with painless, immobile, and non-fluctuant swelling over the left scapular region, insidious in onset and progressive in nature. On examination, a non-tender, immobile swelling was palpable with a painless and unrestricted range of motion at the shoulder joint. After evaluating radiographs and CT scan, the patient was diagnosed to have a ventral scapular osteochondroma leading to pseudo-winging of the scapula. Conclusion: Despite the rarity, a differential diagnosis of a scapular osteochondroma should be kept in mind while examining a young child presenting with a winged scapula. Keywords: Scapula, osteochondroma, pseudo-winging.

The first volume of the New England Journal of Medicine and Surgery, which appeared in 1812, contained this succinct description of congenital cyanotic heart disease in a young girl: S.R. when born was for a considerable time supposed to be dead-did not cry, or evince any living actions. The lungs were artificially inflated for several minutes and life at length appeared, but very feebly.-A livid countenance, with frequent syncope took place.-With great maternal care the infant was kept alive, and as she grew became remarkably sprightly and active. When two years old (she) was unusually intelligent and fond of exercise.-As she advanced in age her fondness for violent exercise in playing often exposed her danger, as these efforts never failed to produce syncope and a kind of convulsion, laughing, crying, any emotion of mind, also brought on the syncope, from which after falling into a horizontal position, she generally soon recovered.-Her countenance, all times blueish and livid, was in these fits extremely extremely so. Her nails were always of the colour of litmus, or perhaps a little nearer to violet. After death the thorax was examined-it was of an unusual shape, being more cylindrical than common, and the lungs having less the form of a cloven hoof, when inflated, than they usually assume.-The heart was very small. In place of a right auricle was observed a small appendage like the edge of that portion of the heart, not capable of containing more than one fourth its usual contents.
