TRUNCUS ARTERIOSUS TYPE I: A CASE REPORT

Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome associated with truncus arteriosus: a case report.

The aim of this presentation was to report a case with Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (ARS) associated with truncus arteriosus (TA). We present a 14-year-old boy with ARS in whom the diagnosis was confirmed by ophthalmologic examination and developmental defects of the teeth and facial bones. Echocardiography revealed TA. With this case demonstrating the association between ARS and TA, the range of r...

A case report of truncus arteriosus communis and genetic counseling

BACKGROUND Truncus arteriosus communis (TAC) is a rare heart disorder with the prevalence of approximately 1%, mostly in male newborns. In this disease, aorta and pulmonary artery have not been separated during fetus development and both originate jointly from left ventricle. In addition, various disorders are reported like ventricular septal defect (VSD), mitral and tricuspid valves defects, a...

Truncus Arteriosus

We have encountered difficulty in recognizing and identifying clinically true truncus arteriosus with pulmonary arteries (type 1) because of its resemblance to correctable cardiac defects such as patent ductus arteriosus, aortic-pulmonic defect, and ventricular septal defect. In the present report we are presenting clinical information on 14 patients with this anomaly, both to supplement the sc...

Type 3c truncus arteriosus. Case report with clinical and surgical implications.

An infant with type 3c truncus arteriosus of Collett and Edwards is reported. In this anomaly, the left pulmonary artery arisesfrom the left lateral wall of the truncus and the right pulmonary artery originatesfrom a rght-sided ductus arteriosus. Only two reports of this malformation have been described previously. Precise anatomical diagnosis is ofimportance since some of these patients may ha...
