Biventricular noncompaction: A rare cause of fetal distress and tricuspid regurgitation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Isolated noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium involving both ventricles is a rare entity. Here we report a rare case of biventricular noncompaction presenting with features of fetal distress and moderate tricuspid regurgitation. Noncompaction of both ventricles was diagnosed at birth.

متن کاملTricuspid aortic stenosis with systolic dysfunction in a 14-year-old boy: Critical stenosis, noncompaction or secondary fibroelastosis?
A bicuspid aortic valve is the most common cause of isolated valvular aortic stenosis in the pediatric age group; another cause is annular hypoplasia, with the tricuspid valve being the least commonly involved. In aortic stenosis, causes of systolic dysfunction are critical stenosis, secondary fibroelastosis and noncompaction. Critical stenosis is diagnosed in the usual fashion. Secondary fibro...

Unguarded tricuspid regurgitation (TR) due to a flail tricuspid leaflet is a rare condition of newborn cyanosis. A high perinatal mortality has been associated with this fatal condition. But, there are feasible surgical repairs to improve survival. We report the case of a male full-term neonate with intractable hypoxia. He had profound tricuspid insufficiency and leaflet prolapse caused by a ru...

Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a rare congenital cardiomyopathy characterized by the presence of an extremely thickened endocardial layer with prominent trabeculations and deep recesses in communication with ventricular chamber and determining a typical spongeous aspect [1]. Noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium is thought to be a congenital arrest of endomyocardial embryogenes...

AIMS To determine if decreasing arterial blood saturation from 95% to 90% could cause vasoconstriction of the pulmonary vasculature and dilatation of a patent ductus arteriosus in preterm newborn infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). METHODS Doppler echocardiographic studies were compared at 95% and 90% pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) in 13 preterm infants aged 61.7 (4.3) hours wit...
