Introduction: Themaintenance of hemodynamic stability in brain aneurysm surgery has paramount clinical significance in order to prevent vasospasm in the patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Regarding this, the present study was conducted to assess the role of magnesium sulfate in preventing vasospasm and maintaining hemodynamic stability during endovascular coiling procedure for br...

holt-oram syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder, characterised by skeletal abnormalities of the upper limb associated with congenital heart defect, mainly atrial and ventricular septal defects. skeletal defects exclusively affect the upper limbs in the preaxial radial ray distribution and are bilateral and asymmetrical. they range from clinodactyly, absent or digitalised thumb, hypoplastic...

Aortopulmonary fistula is an uncommon but often fatal condition resulting as a late complication of an aortic aneurysm. The most common cause is erosion of a false aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta into the pulmonary artery, resulting in the development of a left-to-right shunt and leading to acute pulmonary edema and right heart failure. We report an our experience with aortopulmonary ...

Aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva is an uncommon cardiac abnormality; however, the most common complication is rupture into the right heart chambers or rarely towards the left chambers. A ruptured aneurysm typically leads to an aortocardiac shunt and progressively worsening heart failure. We report a case of a 21-year-old male who suffered an aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva rupture into the r...

Mycotic aneurysm is defined as an infection of the arterial wall either by fungi or bacteria. Although, a rare complication infection, it associated with high morbidity and mortality. We describe 69-year-old female thoracic aortic mycotic aneurysm, no clear source predominantly atypical presentation, manifesting primarily heart failure, at rural community hospital. Our case also depicts rapid d...

The aim of this study was to determine risk factors for coronary lesions, the type of heart lesion present, and long-term outcome in Kawasaki disease. We studied 150 children, aged 3 months to 9.5 years, who met the criteria for a diagnosis of Kawasaki disease. Of the 18% who were diagnosed with heart disease, 100% had coronary artery abnormalities, 11.1% had pancarditis, and 3.7%, mitral insuf...

common variable immunodeficiency (cvid) is the most common symptomatic primary immunodeficiency disease, predisposing the patients to various tissue involvement and organ damage. here a 16-year-old boy is presented who was referred to our center with cough, dyspnea,cyanosis, and history of recurrent pneumonia. the diagnosis of cvid was made according to reduction all serum immunoglobulin levels...

A 38-year-old woman had complex, congenital heart anomalies, including double-outlet right ventricle with mitral atresia, severe left ventricle hypoplasia, atrial septal defect, and severe pulmonary stenosis, for which she had not received appropriate treatment. She presented to our institution with an intense sudden-onset headache that had initiated while sleeping. Brain computed tomography in...

A retrospective study of Chagas's heart disease was carried out by a review of necropsy reports with special reference to the lesion known as the apical aneurysm. It was concluded that this lesion was more frequent in men, was unrelated to age, and was unrelated to heart weight. Patients dying of the cardiac consequences of Chagas's cardiomyopathy were more likely to have an apical aneurysm tha...

We are describing a rare report of right atrial (RA) aneurysm without any structural heart disease. We are also describing the MRI features of this anomaly. This is first kind of case report in world literature where only isolated RA aneurysm was found without any other structural heart disease.
