Linear and whorled nevoid hypermelanosis with tetralogy of fallot

Linear and whorled nevoid hypermelanosis with hemiatrophy.

FIG. 1 Linear and Whorled Nevoid Hypermelanosis: Linear and whorled hyperpigmented macules in a reticulate pattern along the Blaschko’s lines over trunk and limbs. A two-years-old boy presented with abnormal body pigmentation and body asymmetry noted since birth. A preceding vesicular eruption was absent. He was developmentally normal. Family history was insignificant. Examination revealed line...

Linear and whorled nevoid hypermelanosis in three successive generations.

Sir, Linear and whorled nevoid hypermelanosis (LWNH) is characterized by hyperpigmented macules in a streaky configuration along the lines of Blaschko, without preceding inflammation or atrophy.[1-3] Lesions are distributed mainly on the trunk and extremities, sparing palms, soles, and mucosae. The usual age of the onset of hyperpigmentation occurs within the first few weeks of life, continues ...

Patient with Tetralogy of Fallot

A 5-year-old boy with tetralogy of Fallot, near-atresia of the right ventricular outflow tract and large collateral arteries to the lungs underwent an infundibulectomy without closure of the ventricular septal defect. Further surgery required preliminary reduction of the collateral circulation. The collateral arteries were successfully occluded by metrizimide-filled balloons. There was no chang...

Aspergillus Fumigatus Endocarditis after Total Correction of Tetralogy of Fallot

There are few studies about post-cardiac surgery fungal infections especially by Aspergillus fumigatus. In this paper we report a case of Aspergillus fumigatus endocarditis after tetralogy of Fallot total correction (TFTC), and permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation. A five-year-old female patient with current history of total correction of tetralogy of fallot was admitted in Rajaie Ca...
