large intercoronary communications in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease constitute a very rare coronary artery anomaly in which there is a readily visible connection between the 2 coronary arteries with a unidirectional or bidirectional blood flow; consequently, this anomaly may be misinterpreted as a functioning collateral vessel, indicative of an unrecognized proximal coronar...

BACKGROUND Prenatal surgery for congenital anomalies can prevent fetal demise or alter the course of organ development, resulting in a more favorable condition at birth. The indications for fetal surgery continue to expand, yet little is known about the acute sequelae of fetal surgery on the human cardiovascular system. METHODS AND RESULTS Echocardiography was used to evaluate the heart befor...

OBJECT The aim of the study was to identify diagnoses that are confused with pulmonary tuberculosis in children. DESIGN Prospective, investigative clinical study. SETTING Tertiary care teaching hospital and an urban tuberculosis clinic in an area with a very high incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis (> 800 new cases/100,000/year). PATIENTS Children suspected of having tuberculosis, childre...

Background: Congenital anomaly is a disturbance in fetal growth and development during pregnancy and is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in the first year of life. In addition, this anomaly causes a large waste of heath care resources. We aimed to determine the prevalence and proportion rates of different congenital anomalies in Iran via a systematic review and meta-analysis.Me...

Background The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and anatomic features major tracheobronchial anomalies. Methods Major electronic databases were systematically searched identify eligible studies. Data extracted pooled into a meta-analysis. primary outcome anomalies, specifically tracheal bronchus (TB) accessory cardiac (ACB). Secondary outcomes included origin ...

Introduction: Tc99m-DMSA renal scan findings of this project was to study aimed to determine the frequency of congenital anomalies of the kidney. Obtain the spectrum of anomalies, can be used for future intervention studies. Using the experience gained from this study and future studies may be conducted and mitigation measures to achieve a specific distribution. Mater...

Infants of diabetic mothers are significantly at higher risk for major congenital malformations, with cardiovascular anomalies that is the most frequent. In this study, we presented a rare case of dextrocardia and situs inversus totalis (mirror-image dextrocardia) with multiple congenital heart anomalies who was born from a diabetic mother.

the majority of coronary artery fistulas (cafs) are congenital. the anomaly accounts for 0.4% of congenital heart defects and approximately 50% of pediatric coronary vasculature anomalies. twenty percent of people with congenital cafs have other concomitant cardiac anomalies, most frequently aortic and pulmonary atresia and patent ductus arteriosus. it is worthy of note that caf with the tetral...
