Case Report. A 15-year-old boy presented to the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Education and Research Hospital with the complain of bilateral vision blurring associated with severe glare and photophobia. On ophthalmological examination, uncorrected visual acuity was 20/200 in the right eye and 20/100 in the left eye, and there was no improvement with pinhole testing. The slit-lamp examination showed persistent pupillary membranes (PPM) in both eyes. According to the history obtained from his parents, he had received cardiac surgery for tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) 8 years ago.Conclusion. This patient is unique because this is the first reported case of bilateral PPM with congenital heart anomaly in the literature. Bilaterality of the eye anomaly strengthens the possibility of an uncommon association between PPM and TOF, rather than local failure in embryonic development.

A case report on a 49-year-old female with diagnoses of ocular hypertension in her left eye (LE) treated with 250 mg/day acetazolamide for 2 years. During the slit-lamp examination, complete occlusion of both iridocorneal angles was detected. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was 10 and 35 mmHg in the right eye and LE, respectively. Phacotrabeculectomy was performed in the LE. After 1 month of the procedure, the patient developed a slowly progressive miopization from −1 to −3 diopters (D) the following months. Approximately 3 months after surgery, the patient developed an episode of acute pain, athalamia, and IOP 45 mmHg in her LE. Late-onset malignant glaucoma was suspected and the patient was treated with topical hypotensive and cycloplegic agent until a prompt vitrectomy was performed. Deepening of the anterior chamber and restoration of IOP to normal range was obtained after surgery.

Abstract Background Anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) is a rare congenital heart disease, characterized by the coronary artery inappropriately originates from the aorta. It is usually classified according to the sinus where the coronary artery arises from, while anomalous origin of the right coronary being the most common type. Case presentation In this case report, we described a rare case of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) in a 1-year-old boy, who also had the anomalous right coronary artery that originated from the left coronary sinus without an intramural segment. Besides TOF repair, lateral pulmonary translocation was undertaken in order to avoid risks of myocardial ischemia. Conclusion We successfully completed a one-stage operation consisting of TOF repair and pulmonary artery translocation in a 1-year-old boy. We advocated early operation of pulmonic translocation for AAOCA patients without an intramural segment instead of unroofing procedure.

Abstract: Congenital heart disease is a structural defect due to the malformation of the heart, aorta, and or great blood vessels. It is the most frequent congenital malformation in newborn babies. Tetralogy of Fallot is one of the congenital heart diseases (CHD) with central cyanosis, and covers 5-10% of all CHD. We reported a boy of one year old with Tetralogy of Fallot and pulmonal atresia (ToF-PA), associated with bronchopneumonia. The diagnosis was based on anamnesis, physical examination, and other supporting examinations. The chest X-ray showed a normal sized heart (CTR 57%) with coer-en-sabot shape, and right and left parahilar infiltration, which resulted in bronchopneumonia and ToF. The electrocardiography showed a right deviation of axis and a hypertrophy of the right ventricle; the echocardiography showed a right ventricle hypertrophy, an over-riding aorta, a large malalignment of the ventricular septal defect, no visualization of pulmonar artery, and no visualization of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Conclusion: Based on all the tests performed, the diagnosis of this patient was Tetralogy of Fallot and pulmonal atresia (ToF-PA), associated with bronchopneumonia. The prognosis related to bronchopneumonia in this case was good due to the use of antibiotics. Keywords: tetralogy of Fallot, pulmona atresia, bronchopneumonia.  Abstrak: Penyakit jantung bawaan (PJB) ialah kelainan struktural akibat malformasi jantung, aorta dan atau pembuluh darah besar, dan merupakan kelainan kongenital tersering pada bayi baru lahir. Tetralogi Fallot merupakan salah satu PJB dengan sianosis sentral, dan mencakup 5-10% dari seluruh PJB. Kami melaporkan kasus seorang anak laki-laki berusia satu tahun dengan Tetralogi Fallot dan atresia pulmonal (ToF-PA) disertai bronkopneumonia. Diagnosis ditegakkan melalui anamnesis, pemeriksaan fisik, dan pemeriksaan penunjang. Hasil ekspertisi foto toraks AP memperlihatkan ukuran jantung normal (CTR 57%) berbentuk coer-en-sabot, dan pada paru-paru terlihat infiltrat parahilar kanan dan kiri serta corakan vaskular paru berkurang yang menunjukkan suspek bronkopneumonia dan ToF. Elektrokardiografi memperlihatkan deviasi aksis ke kanan dan hipertrofi ventrikel kanan, dan pada ekokardiografi tampak right ventricle hypertrophy, overriding aorta, VSD malalignment besar, tidak tampak visualisasi arteri pulmonal, dan tidak tampak patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) dengan hasil Tetralogi Fallot dan atresia pulmonal. Simpulan: Berdasarkan hasil pemeriksaan yang dilakukan, diagnosis pasien ini ialah Tetralogi Fallot dan atresia pulmonal (ToF-PA) disertai bronkopneumonia. Prognosis bronkopenumonia pada kasus ini baik yang dapat diatasi dengan antibiotika.Kata kunci: tetralogi Fallot, atresia pulmonal, bronkopneumonia.

Cardiac angiosarcomas are rare malignant tumors, predominantly affecting the right heart with poor survival outcomes. The current mainstay of treatment consists of surgery with or without chemotherapy, but often yields limited results with local relapse or metastatic recurrence. This case report describes 2 patients with primary angiosarcoma located in the right atrium. One patient received neo-adjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy; both were scheduled for surgical resection. The course of disease is described followed by a comprehensive review of the literature.

Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor

We report a case of recurrent Pindborg tumor (calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor) of the maxilla. The patient was a 34-year-old woman who had been previously diagnosed with Pindborg tumor and treated with curettage. She was subsequently referred to us for evaluation of nasal obstruction. Examination revealed the presence of a mass lesion in the right nasal cavity and right maxilla, which was identified as a recurrence of her earlier Pindborg tumor. The patient was treated with maxillectomy with orbital preservation. Pindborg tumor is a rare odontogenic tumor; when it does occur, it is more often seen in the mandible than in the maxilla. While this tumor is often treated with curettage alone, the aggressive nature of the recurrence in our patient necessitated radical surgery. We report this case to highlight the need to be suitably aggressive in treating these types of tumors in order to avoid recurrence.
