A single coronary artery (SCA) is a rare congenital anomaly of the coronary circulation, which is often associated with myocardial ischemia and other congenital cardiac anomalies. A 77-year-old woman visited our hospital complaining of typical chest pain. Coronary angiography revealed an isolated SCA. The right coronary artery did not originate from the aorta, but instead emerged from the dista...

Duplication of the mitral valve is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly, only twenty instances having been previously reported. There are on record in addition two cases of triplication of the mitral valve, a condition presumably resulting from a similar defect in development. Duplication of the tricuspid valve also occurs, but less commonly than the mitral anomaly. This case is reported in order ...

Noonan's syndrome involves the association of multiple congenital abnormalities including neck webbing, pectus excavatum, facial anomalies with a variety of cardiac defects. In this paper the association of Noonan's syndrome with a large cerebral arteriovenous malformation is reported. Congenital cerebrovascular abnormalities are not a recognized feature of the syndrome. The paper also reviews ...

With a sound understanding of anatomy, detecting and diagnosing most congenital heart malformations with echocardiography need not be an onerous task. Using all the modalities of ultrasound, the examination should define as completely as possible the morphological and physiological aspects of the malformation. The cross sectional imaging modality is a superb tool for displaying the morphology o...

a 3 month- old boy was admitted with recurrent severe respiratory distress and refractory to therapeutic options. patient underwent a helical multidetector ct examination. axial, coronal and three- dimensional imaging, revealed tracheal bronchus, stenosis, diverticulum and bronchiectasis. in this situation, ct scanning, perfectly 3d imaging is recommend for rule out congenital tracheobronchial ...

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...
