Small remnants of the right valve of the sinus venosus are commonly found in adults, but the incidence and risk associated with these embryonic remnants in neonates are not well studied. The following report describes a cyanotic neonate with a large Eustachian valve remnant creating a functional cor
An 18-year-old woman without previously documented medical history delivered a healthy 32-week-old preterm infant. Severe bleeding occurred during week 1 postpartum secondary to ruptured vaginal condylomas. The consequent anemia was accompanied by complaints of exercise intolerance that resolved
Perinatal stroke is a common cause of established neurological sequelae. Although several risk factors have been identified, many questions regarding causes and clinical outcomes remain unanswered. This study investigated the clinical manifestations and outcomes of perinatal stroke and identified
A 73 year old woman presented with profound central cyanosis and a history of a minor stroke. She had normal heart morphology, normal pulmonary artery pressure, and a normal coronary angiography. A patent foramen ovale (PFO) with a massive right to left shunt was demonstrated at the atrial level,
A 65-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with an acute onset of left-sided hemiparesis and slurred speech for 6 hours. Physical examination was notable for clubbing and peripheral cyanosis. Brain MRI showed an acute infarct involving the right gangliocapsular region. Investigations
We report the case of a child succumbing to heatstroke caused by confinement in an icebox. The post mortem examination found cyanosis and hematomas indicating that the child had tried to get out of the container. The temperature of the body was higher than it should have been considering the rigor
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are rare vascular anomalies. Alternative designations are pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae or aneurysms. Although mostly asymptomatic, PAVMs can cause respiratory symptoms due to right-to-left shunt. The central nervous system is a Cor triatriatum is a rare congenital cardiac condition characterized by the division of one atrium into two chambers by a fibromuscular membrane, resulting in three atrial chambers. The goal of this study was to determine the associations of cor triatriatum with cyanosis, atrial fibrillation (AF),
States of low cardiac output frequently complicate the postoperative course of patients undergoing repair of cyanotic congenital heart lesions. The relative contribution of chronic cyanosis alone to the postoperative deterioration in left ventricular function remains unknown. To study the effects of
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a congenital birth defect of the heart which actually comprises four individual flaws. It causes poor flow of oxygenated blood to the organs and leads to cyanosis (blue-tinted skin, because of inadequate oxygenation). It can be recognized at birth or in adulthood. But
