Catastrophic congenital hemangioma with severe coagulopathy leading to fatal cardiac failure: Case report and review

A case of multiple hemangiomata of the liver is reported in an infant who presented signs and symptoms strongly suggesting congenital heart disease. The post mortem examination revealed no gross anomalies of the heart or great vessels, but did show a heart with cardiac hypertrophy. A mechanism to explain the cardiac failure in this case is discussed.

The Right

The sinus of valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a small dilatation caused by a separation between the aortic media and annulus fibrosus. It may be either acquired or congenital. The right coronary sinus is most frequently affected, with the most common complication being rupture of the sinus. Cardiac failure and sudden auscultation changes suggest the possibility of SVA rupture. Echocardiography is sufficient to diagnose SVA, its complications, repercussions and to determine surgical options. SVA, even if asymptomatic, has potential risks of expansion, rupture, cardiac failure, endocarditis, embolism and sudden death. This justifies surgical correction which has a low mortality rate in both the short and long-term.Bangladesh Med J. 2015 Sep; 44 (3): 175-177

Severe Coagulopathy

Abstract Background Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare, life threatening obstetric complication, often associated with severe coagulopathy. Induced abortions are extremely safe procedures however complications including AFE can occur. Case presentation A 29-year-old previously healthy woman, gravida 1 para 0, presented for a scheduled second trimester induced abortion via dilation and evacuation at 22-weeks gestation. The case was complicated by a suspected AFE with associated profound coagulopathy. Viscoelastic point-of-care coagulation analysis was used to successfully and swiftly guide management of her coagulopathy. Conclusion AFE can occur in the setting of induced abortion. This case report suggests viscoelastic point-of-care coagulation analyzers may aid in the management of pregnancy-related coagulopathy by providing faster coagulation assessment than laboratory testing, and facilitating timely, targeted management of coagulopathy.

Insight Into

Supraventricular tachycardia is the most common tachyarrhythmia seen in fetuses, neonates and infants. Sustained SVT may lead to congestive cardiac failure. Neonatal supraventricular tachycardia is more commonly associated with other cardiorespiratory and congenital problems and is uncommon in an otherwise healthy infant. Supraventricular tachycardia is also caused by neonatal sepsis but has rarely been reported. Here, we report two cases of SVT (Supraventricular tachycardia) induced by neonatal sepsis. Two neonates, one male and another female, both born to Indian mother had tachycardia with heart rate > 220 beats/minute along with poor perfusion, tachypnoea, fever and deranged coagulation profile. Both the babies had culture positive gram negative sepsis with normal echocardiography and supraventricular tachycardia on electrocardiograms which were treated with anti arrhythmic drugs and treatment of sepsis. This case report gives further insight into one more presentation and complication of neonatal sepsis.
