Situs inversus totalis is a rare congenital condition that occurs in one out of 4000–20000 people, characterized by complete transposition of the thoracic and abdominal viscera1-14. In contrast, situs solitus is a term that refers to the normal arrangement of body organs. Any disposition of organs between these two extremes is designated by situs ambiguous, situs transversus or situs inversus p...

Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm rupture is a rare cardiac anomaly and demands prompt treatment. We present a case of a young patient who underwent transcatheter closure due to a ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm.

Noncompaction cardiomyopathy is a rare type of that can result in left ventricular failure, thromboembolic events, tachyarrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. It congenital which deep trabeculations cavities the ventricle are formed due to cessation development myocardial tissue intrauterine period. Ebstein's anomaly characterized by apical displacement tricuspid valve septal leaflet. Although ...

Prenatal detection of congenital heart disease is possible from the 16th week of pregnancy, the ideal time being the mid-trimester, when most cardiac abnormalities can be detected. However, identification of anomalous pulmonary venous connection is difficult before birth and the sensitivity of fetal echocardiography in detecting this anomaly is low. Four cases are reported in which fetal echoca...

A criss-cross heart is an extremely rare congenital anomaly that is commonly associated with complex cardiac defects. The literature on imaging of such a condition is limited. In particular, cardiac CT imaging of criss-cross heart is sparse. We present a case of a full-term infant with criss-cross heart, in which cardiac CT delineated the complex heart anatomy and confirmed known echocardiograp...

Bronchial anomalies, although rare, represent an important chapter of respiratory diseases, both because of their theoretical interest and practical significance in surgical practice. In this study we presented nine patients having ‘iiccessory cardiac bronchi which were discovered during systematic bronchoscopies performed for other diseases. Only in one case was this anomaly manifested by repe...

Myocardial bridging (MB) is a rare coronary anomaly in children that is typically associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or left ventricular hypertrophy. Several reports, mainly in adults, have suggested an association between MB and sudden death or ischemia without other cardiac abnormalities. In this report, we describe an 11-year-old girl with syncope and manifestations of cardiac ische...

Cor triatriatum dexter is a rare cardiac abnormality in which the right atrium is subdivided into two distinct chambers. This anomaly is generally attributed to the persistence of the right sinus venosus valve and it is frequently associated with severe malformations of other right heart structures. The antemortem diagnosis of the membrane may be difficult and its presence is often only establi...

= Abstract = Sewn years' experience of fetal echocardiography was reviewed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of fetal echocardiography, distribution of individual cardiac anomalies, and some practical problems of fetal echocardiography in Korea. A total of 737 fetuses IMlre examined and 45 confirmed and 20 unconfirmed cardiac structural anomalies IMlre identified. In general, fetal echocardiogr...

Communication between the coronary arteries and the cardiac chambers is a rare event. In the 22,500 post-mortems performed at the General Hospital, Singapore, over the past decade, there were some 520 cases of congenital heart disease. In this material there were three examples of this unusual anomaly, all occurring in infants of Chinese race. As about 30 cases of this anomaly have now been des...
