Down Syndrome with Unbalanced Complete Atrioventricular Septal Defect and Truncus Arteriosus
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Truncus arteriosus (TA) is a rare cardiac anomaly constituting less than 1% of all congenital heart defects. The association of complete atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) and truncus arteriosus is uncommon. The management of this uncommon combination of lesions has not been well characterized and there is limited surgical options for treatment of these patients. We present our case report of a late presentation of Down syndrome with unbalanced complete AVSD and type 1 truncus arteriosus in a tertiary hospital in South Africa.

Prenatal diagnosis of complete atrioventricular septal defect with truncus arteriosus.
Truncus arteriosus (TA) is a rare cardiac anomaly constituting less than 1% of all congenital heart defects. Its association with complete atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) is extremely unusual and only 12 cases diagnosed postnatally or postmortem have been reported so far. We describe the first case of truncus arteriosus with AVSD to be diagnosed prenatally by fetal echocardiography.
متن کاملAssociation of VACTERL with truncus arteriosus, left-sided aortic arch, hypoplastic pulmonary arteries, and severe radial axis defect
Background: VACTERL association is usually a sporadic disorder, the possible etiologies of which have been proposed as familial as well as multiple genetic and environmental factors. VACTERL association usually consists of at least three of the core features of vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheoesophageal fistula, renal anomalies, and limb abnormalities. Vertebral anomali...
متن کاملA Review of Current Thoughts*
Ventricular septal defect, alone or in combination with other cardiac malformations, is the commonest form of congenital heart disease in man. Morphogenically, the ventricular septum is composed of three parts: (a) the conal septum, (b) the septum of the endocardial cushions, and (c) the muscular septum proper. Consequently, most cono-truncal abnormalities (transposition of the great arteries, ...
متن کاملCLINICOPATHOLOGIC CORRELATIONS Cardiac Malformations Associated with Down's Syndrome
A review of 55 specimens with congenital heart disease from subjects with Down's syndrome (Mongolism) showed a variety of malformations. For each case a major anomaly was identified and, when present, additional anomalies were recorded. The three leading types of major anomalies, in order of decreasing frequency, were (1) persistent common atrioventricular canal (60%), isolated ventricular sept...
