Uhl's anomaly detected in‐utero
نویسندگان
چکیده
Uhl's anomaly is rarely diagnosed antenatally. It is a condition characterised by partial or complete absence of the right ventricular myocardium and the heart conducting system. We present a case of Uhl's anomaly diagnosed during fetal life on prenatal ultrasound, with eight years postnatal follow-up.

Uhl's anomaly. Differential diagnosis and indication for cardiac transplantation in an infant.
We report the case of an 8-month-old female infant with Uhl's anomaly, who underwent successful cardiac transplantation. The clinical findings, complementary laboratory tests, anatomic findings, and differential diagnosis of the anomaly are discussed.
متن کاملInexcitable right ventricle and bilateral bundle branch block in Uhl's disease.
A 29-year-old female with Uhl's anomaly developed complete atrioventricular (A-V) block. His bundle studies revealed block distal to the His bundle recording site with narrow QRS complexes. Right ventricular capture could not be obtained and despite successful left ventricular epicardial pacing, the patient died. Autopsy revealed absence of myocardium in most areas of the right ventricle and th...
متن کاملUhl's anomaly complicated with critical ventricular arrhythmia in a 2-month-old infant.
We report a case of Uhl's anomaly in a 2-month-old infant who presented with critical ventricular arrhythmia. The patient underwent a successfully surgical repair by semitotal resection of the right ventricle free wall, tricuspid annuloplasty, and one and one-half ventricular repair.
متن کاملUhl's anomaly: A one and a half ventricular repair in a patient presenting with cardiac arrest.
Uhl's anomaly, first reported in 1952, is an extremely rare congenital cardiac defect characterized by partial or complete loss of the right ventricular myocardium and unknown etiology. Fewer than 100 cases have been described. The response to medical management is poor and there is no known ideal surgical approach or timing for treatment. We report the case of a previously active adolescent ma...
متن کاملComparison of Uhl's anomaly, right ventricular outflow tract ventricular tachycardia (RVOT VT) & arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) with an insight into genetics of ARVD/C.
Among the right ventricular conditions, Uhl's anomaly, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia / cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) and right ventricular outflow tract ventricular tachycardia (RVOT VT) are disorders that exhibit pathogenic changes involving the right ventricular (RV) myocardium, and are expected to be severe or milder forms of the same condition. The review focuses on the aspect whethe...
