Cardiovascular Dimensions in Patients With Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformation • The hemodynamics of 29 adult subjects with a congenital intracranial arteriovenous malformation were studied by radiocardiography. The cardiac index, heart rate, stroke index, systemic arterial pulse pressure and radiographical heart volume did not differ significantly from the normal. However, the total blood ...

Congenital diverticulum of the left ventricle of the heart is considered to be a rare malformation. Up to 1958, Keith, Rowe, and Vlad could only collect 13 cases from the published reports. Successful operations had been recorded by Roessler (1944), Skapinker (1951), Potts, DeBoer, and Johnson (1953), and Mustard, Duckworth, Rowe, and Dolan (1958). The purpose of this paper is to present the cl...

A double orifice mitral valve (DOMV) represents a rare congenital malformation characterised by two valve orifices with two separate subvalvular apparatus. This case demonstrates the necessity of careful imaging of the mitral valve apparatus, not only in patients with atrioventricular septal defects, but also in patients with congenital left obstructive heart disease.

with a bruit over the heart, whether due to malformation or some disease inherited antenatallyahvays end fatally within a very short space of time from cardiac failure. Regarding the causes of the affection, double mitral regurgitation and incompetence, congenital syphilis, endocarditis, and malformation of the heart usually predominated, but the differential diagnosis in my cases has been rath...

Nasopharyngeal teratomas are rare and are infrequently associated with extra-oral malformations. The case of a premature female infant with multiple congenital anomalies, including nasopharyngeal teratoma, Dandy-Walker malformation, diaphragmatic hernia, and congenital heart defect, is presented. This constellation of malformations does not appear to have been reported previously.

Persistent truncus arteriosus (TA) is an uncommon congenital cardiovascular malformation, which comprises between 0.4% and 4% of all congenital heart defects. Occurrence of TA in siblings has been reported infrequently. Twins concordant for isolated TA appear to have been reported only once previously. In this paper, we describe dizygotic twin females who were concordant for isolated TA.

NOMALOUS inferior vena cava with azygos or hemiazygos continuation has been considered to be a very rare anomaly in the past. However, since the development of cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography, this congenital abnormality has been reported with increasing frequency. This anomaly is usually associated with other cardiovascular defect, and there are few reported cases without other m...

Background Earlier studies reporting varying risk estimates for congenital malformation in offspring of mothers undergoing vaccination against H1N1 influenza during pregnancy did not consider the potential role of confounding by familial (genetic and shared environmental) factors. Objective To evaluate an association between maternal H1N1 vaccination during pregnancy and offspring malformatio...
