Postoperative pulmonary calcification in a child with truncus arteriosus

Truncus arteriosus

Truncus Arteriosus

We have encountered difficulty in recognizing and identifying clinically true truncus arteriosus with pulmonary arteries (type 1) because of its resemblance to correctable cardiac defects such as patent ductus arteriosus, aortic-pulmonic defect, and ventricular septal defect. In the present report we are presenting clinical information on 14 patients with this anomaly, both to supplement the sc...

Sirenomelia Associated with Truncus Arteriosus

Syrenomelia sequence is a rare (incidence of 1: 60000 births) [1,2] lethal pattern of congenital anomalies characterized by a number of hallmark skeletal anomalies including fusion of the lower extremities or a single lower limb, bilateral renal agenesis or dysgenesis with absent or hypoplastic renal arteries, oligohydramnios and the presence of aberrant vasculature. Prenatal sonographic detect...

Persistent Truncus Arteriosus

PERSISTENT truncus arteriosus is one of the rarer congenital cardiac anomalies. Keith et al.1 cite the incidence to be less than 1 per cent of their congenital cardiac patients Abbott2 found 21 in her autopsy series of 1,000 cases and Wood3 had one in his clinical series of 900. Collett and Edwards4 reviewed, in an excellent study of 80 autopsied cases, the pathology of truncus arteriosus. The ...
