that occurs almost exclusively in young children with or without various forms of congenital heart disease (1). Pulmonary vein stenosis in the adults is very rare, and the small number of reported cases has often been associated with mediastinal processes such as neoplasms or fibrosing mediastinitis (2, 3). Recently, stenosis has appeared as a complication of radiofrequency ablation procedures ...

Ellis-Van Creveld syndrome is a very rare congenital disorder which its principal features are polysyndactyly, chondrodysplasia, cardiac abnormalities and ectodermal dysplasia. We report a 10-year-old girl with major manifestations of this syndrome who also had multiple brownish macules and patches on trunk and extremities with aortic and pulmonary stenosis in echocardiographic evaluations.

Of the many abnormalities that have been reported in association with multiple caf&-au-lait spots, congenital cardiac anomalies are extremely rare. The purpose of this paper is to report three families in which there were children with pulmonary valvular stenosis, who were mentally dull and also had cafe-au-lait spots inherited as an autosomal dominant, as in von Recklinghausen's disease (VRD)....

The cardiac abnormality most frequently found in rubella syndrome is a combination of branch pulmonary artery stenosis and patent ductus arteriosus, though isolated branch pulmonary artery stenosis is twice as common as isolated patent ductus arteriosus [1]. However, a wide variety of cardiac malformations may be produced, such as ventricular and atrial septal defects, stenosis of the pulmonary...

in this study, trans-pulmonic valvular gradient of 51 patients with congenital pulmonary stenosis measured by cw-doppler and cardiac catheterization were compared to find whether they are comparable and if doppler method is accurate enough for interventional decision-making. results showed that findings in both methods were comparable and doppler method is accurate and enough for clinical decis...

Flash pulmonary edema typically exhibits sudden onset and resolves rapidly. It generally is associated with bilateral renal artery stenosis or unilateral stenosis in conjunction with a single functional kidney. We describe a patient who presented with flash pulmonary edema treated by percutaneous therapy with stent implantation. Our case is unique in that the flash pulmonary edema occurred in t...

The familial association of pulmonary stenosis, atrial septal defect, and unique electrocardiographic abnormalities involving a mother and two children is reported. Familial pulmonary stenosis not occurring as part of a named syndrome or without associated multiple congenital abnormalities is rare. The constellation of pulmonary stenosis, atrial septal defect, and the particular electrocardiogr...
