Fetal echocardiography in detecting anomalous pulmonary venous connection: four false positive cases.
Prenatal detection of congenital heart disease is possible from the 16th week of pregnancy, the ideal time being the mid-trimester, when most cardiac abnormalities can be detected. However, identification of anomalous pulmonary venous connection is difficult before birth and the sensitivity of fetal echocardiography in detecting this anomaly is low. Four cases are reported in which fetal echoca...
متن کاملA rare variant of intracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection.
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) with direct connection of the pulmonary veins to the morphologically right atrium is exceedingly rare other than in the setting of isomerism of the right atrial appendages. We present an interesting case of TAPVC in a patient with situs solitus that connected to the right atrium via a broad-mouthed common chamber.
متن کاملContrast echocardiography test for intrapleural extravasation by central venous catheter
Imaging Med. (2014) 6(1), 21–24 ISSN 1755-5191 Pleural effusion resulting in respiratory distress is a rare complication associated with central venous catheters (CVCs) in children with cancer. Early diagnosis is required to avoid life-threatening complications. Herein, we report the diagnosis by safe echocardiography test in a child with nephroblastoma who experienced acute respiratory distres...
متن کاملRare variant of mixed total anomalous pulmonary venous connection
Mixed variety of Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a rare congenital heart disorder with a wide variation of pulmonary venous anatomy and their drainage. Present article depicts "3+1" variant of mixed TAPVC treated by rechannelizing all pulmonary veins to left atrium using a Polytetrafleuroethylene patch.
متن کاملRare venous connection causing severe hypoxia after Fontan operation.
We describe a rare case of cyanosis following the Fontan operation with right-to-left shunting at the venous level, that is, an azygos venous to pulmonary venous connection. Few cases with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection to azygos vein have been reported; however, there have been no reports describing the connection from azygos vein to pulmonary vein, which results in desaturation...
