The authors present the case of an infant girl with severe generalized weakness, multiple bone fractures, and heart defect. She needed mechanical ventilation from birth. Radiographs showed mid-diaphyseal fractures of both humeri and of the right femur as well as generalized osteopenia.
We report a 5-year-old girl with hypoplastic left heart syndrome who originally underwent a Norwood procedure with a Sano shunt. Subsequent procedures included a bidirectional Glenn and extracardiac Fontan with a Gore-Tex graft (W.L Gore and Associates, Flagstaff, AZ). The patient was found to have
Based on the study of the echocardiography data in 44 patients with chronic renal failure it has been shown that the incidence and the degree of left ventricle hypertrophy is related to the duration of arterial hypertension, increased cardiac output, and metabolic abnormalities. Echocardiographic
Arteriohepatic dysplasia (Alagille syndrome) is a congenital cholestatic disease associated with ocular abnormalities. Three Japanese siblings, a 14-year-old girl, an 11-year-old boy, and a 9-year-old girl with this syndrome were studied. All three patients showed neonatal jaundice, hepatic
A 62-year-old woman was referred for evaluation of recent-onset dyspnoea at rest and a newly found systolic heart murmur, heard best at the apex of the heart. The patient's history was notable for surgical mitral valve replacement 3 years ago, due to severe mitral regurgitation (myxomatous
Congenital absence of gallbladder and atrial septal defect (ASD) are clinically rare congenital organ malformations, and the simultaneous occurrence of the two is even more rare. The present study reported a case of gallbladder agenesis combined with congenital ASD. A 38-year-old male patient
In this case we present a patient with unruptured non-coronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm associated with diverse clinical findings, caused by acquired degenerative changes of the aortic wall. A previously healthy 36-year-old female was admitted to the neurological clinic of our hospital having
Five patients with proved mitral insufficiency caused by ruptured chordae tendineae were examined. Two patients came to autopsy without cardiac cateterization. Three patients, who had cardiac cateterization and surgical replacement of their mitral valves, improved dramatically. Two additional
Pheochromocytoma-associated catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy is a well-known entity in man, nonhuman primates, and mice but has not been described in dogs. In this retrospective study, 9 dogs were identified with pheochromocytomas and concurrent cardiovascular pathology observed histologically
The authors present the case of a 12-year old girl with infective endocarditis. Following an initial three-day period of malaise, she was admitted to the hospital with meningeal signs. The clinical symptoms and the results of the laboratory examinations, lumbar puncture and hemoculture supported the
An elderly lady was admitted for pain management and rehabilitation following a fall. During her stay she developed a new heart murmur and sepsis. Subacute bacterial endocarditits was excluded, empirical ciprofloxacin was initiated and later converted to aztreonam with gentamicin for clinical
Acute aortic insufficiency can now be diagnosed rapidly and accurately thanks to Doppler echocardiography. The etiologies include infectious endocarditis, aortic dissection, bioprosthesis degeneration and thoracic injury. The clinical diagnosis is substantiated by the particular etiological context,
An approximately 6-mo-old female bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) was presented for an inability to fly and bilateral drooped wings. Pectoral muscle atrophy with a moderate polycythemia was present. Over the course of 3 wk, there were no improvements in flight capacity, although the bird gained
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital heart disease, and it is well known to be a risk factor for ascending aortic dilatation and dissection. We here report a case of 34-year-old woman who underwent Ross procedure with ascending aortic replacement under the diagnosis of subaortic
We report an unusual case of left-ventricular outflow obstruction caused by accessory mitral valve tissue associated with dextrocardia and ventricular septal defect in a seven-day-old, 2200 grams premature infant, who was referred with a heart murmur. The diagnosis was made by two-dimensional and
