Congenital cardiovascular disease and anomalies of the third and fourth pharyngeal pouch.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Patients with the third and fourth pharyngeal pouch syndrome, thymic and parathyroid aplasia or hypoplasia, have a very high incidence of aortic arch anomalies and congenital heart disease. These patients present with a unique syndrome characterized by profound hypocalcemia, defective thymic-mediated cellular immune function, and cardiovascular anomalies. The cardiac abnormalities most frequently are conotruncal malformations of the tetralogy of Fallot or truncus arteriosus types and are often the cause of death. Patients with profound neonatal hypocalcemia should be screened for evidence of normal thymic function and congenital heart disease.

متن کاملThe Fourth Branchial Complex Anomaly: A Rare Clinical Entity
Fourth branchial pouch anomalies are rare congenital disorders of the neck and are a consequence of abnormal development of the branchial apparatus during embryogenesis. Failure to appropriately recognize these anomalies may result in misdiagnosis, insufficient treatment, and continued recurrence. Here, we present an unique presentation of two cases, describe their diagnosis, clinical course, a...
متن کاملA Case Report: A Third/Fourth Branchial Pouch Anomaly Presented by Solid Thyroid and Lateral Cervical Neck Masses
Branchial pouch-derived anomalies may arise from remnants of the first, second, or third/fourth branchial arches. Branchial pouch-related structures are found within the thyroid gland in the form of solid cell rests, epithelial lined cyst with or without an associated lymphoid component, thymic and/or parathyroid tissue, and less commonly in the form of heterotopic cartilage. We present a rare ...
