INTRODUCTION The present study was conducted to establish the positive predictive value of congenital cardiac malformation diagnoses registered in the Danish National Patient Registry (NPR), thereby exploring whether the NPR can serve as a valid tool for epidemiologic studies of congenital cardiac malformations. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study population comprised every individual born from 2...

BACKGROUND Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation is a rare pulmonary malformation, but is the most common lung malformation observed in children. In developing countries, such as Morocco, prenatal diagnosis is missing. Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation may occur after birth in the presence of complications and needs a computed tomography scan for confirmation. However, our lack of...

BACKGROUND: It is known that 22q11.2 microdeletion is a submicroscopic chromosomal anomaly with cardiac and extra-cardiac manifestations. The prevalence and manifestations in north India have not been well characterized. OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to determine the prevalence of 22q11.2 microdeletion in congenital cardiac malformation cases referred for surgery from north India and to a...

Intracranial arteriovenous malformation is rarely presented in newborns or infants. We describe an unusual case of congenital arteriovenous malformation of the brain with multiple sequestered grape-like venous sacs presented with congenital hydrocephalus. This 4-month-old girl born with a large head, presented with progressive hydrocephalus over a period of 4 months. The brain CT showed multilo...

Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is considered the most common congenital gastrointestinal malformation affecting 2% of population. Complications including hemorrhage, diverticulitis, and intestinal obstruction occur in only 4% patients with MD. This article presents imaging findings a small bowel intussusception caused by Meckel’s diverticulitis 10-year-old girl.

PURPOSE To describe an infant with PHACE(S) syndrome [posterior fossa anomalies (P), hemangiomas (H), arterial anomalies (A), cardiac abnormalities and coarctation of aorta (C), eye abnormalities (E), and the sternal defects (S)] with unusual strabismus, congenital glaucoma, and new systemic manifestations. METHODS A 6-month-old girl was referred with large hemangiomas on the left side of the...
