Document Details : Title: A congenital left ventricular diverticulum combined with a complex malformation syndrome Author(s): MASSIN, Martial M. , VERLOES, Alain Journal: Acta Cardiologica Volume: 58 Issue: 3 Date: June 2003 Pages: 207-208 DOI: 10.2143/AC.58.3.2005280 Abstract : Congenital left ventricular diverticulum is rare and usually isolated or associated with midline thoracoabdominal defects and other congenital cardiac malformations.We describe a case with a previously undescribed malformation syndrome including bilateral obstruction of the ureteropelvic junction,agenesis of corpus callosus,scoliosis,hip dysplasia,severe developmental delay,failure to thrive and congenital left ventricular diverticulum but with normal GTG-banded karyotype.The cardiac lesion was suspected on echocardiography and was confirmed by cineangiography, which outlined a huge apical diverticulum opening through a wide ostium into the left ventricular cavity.To our knowledge this case report is the first description of an association with such a malformation syndrome. |
