Wong's anomaly - a rare variant of cor triatriatum.

ABSTRACT: Cor triatriatum sinistrum is an extremely rare congenital heart disease. It is even more uncommon in adults, and clinically significant mitral valve lesion complicating cor triatriatum is distinctly rare. Wong et al reported for the first time the rare combination of cor triatriatum sinister associated with severe mitral regurgitation and abnormal tensor apparatus of the mitral valve. We report a similar case and used the term Wong's anomaly for the syndrome, having membranous type of cor triatriatum sinistrum, severe mitral regurgitation and hypoplasia of the papillary muscles and short chordae. Color Doppler Echocardiography showed peculiar 'helmet sign' of mitral regurgitation, wherein the mitral regurgitation color jet fills the distal atrial chamber and abruptly ends in a horizontal plane as it is halted by the intra-atrial membrane.

Perineal ectopic testis: A rare congenital anomaly.

Project description:Perineal ectopic testis is a rare condition seen in less than 1% of all cases of undescended testis. In this study, we diagnosed a perineal ectopic testis in a 7-month-old physical examination. A solitary, oval mass on the lower and lateral side of the palpation right hemiscrotum was identified and this mass was defined as the correct testicle at the ultrasound of scrotal. Orchiopexy was performed following herniography, and the scrotum was attached to the scrotum using the dartos pouch technique. We believe that orchidopexy is the preferred treatment of choice.

Camptodactyly and DiGeorge syndrome: A rare hand anomaly.

Project description:The most common deletion syndrome is 22q11.2 and it effects an estimated 1 in 3000 live births. Major features of this multisystem condition include congenital abnormalities, developmental delay, learning difficulties, immunodeficiency, endocrine anomalies and an array of psychiatric disorders. However, variability in phenotype and severity may cause the diagnosis to be overlooked. Early clinical recognition and treatment of DiGeorge syndrome has been shown to increase early life survival, decrease complications and enhance overall quality of life. Skeletal anomalies are infrequently described in 22q11.2 but a subset of patients exhibit upper and lower limb deformities. We present the case of a 5 year-old girl with bilateral fifth digit camptodactyly caused by a fibrous band, and the surgical management of this condition. The current report adds to the body of evidence that camptodactyly is a rare clinical feature of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, and may serve as a diagnostic aid in these patients.

Cor triatriatum dexter: A rare cause of cyanosis during neonatal period.

Project description:Cor-triatriatum dexter is an extremely rare congenital heart defect in which there is complete persistence of the right valve of embryonic sinus venosus that results in partitioning of the right atrium into a smooth and trabeculated portion. The smooth portion receives venous blood from inferior vena cava, superior vena cava, and coronary sinus while the trabeculated portion contains the right atrial appendage and the opening of tricuspid valve. We report a 1-week-old child who presented with intermittent episodes of central cyanosis. Echocardiography, established, and bubble contrast study confirmed the diagnosis of an isolated cor-triatriatum dexter. The baby initially underwent an intervention by cardiac catheterization, which was unsuccessful in disrupting the membrane and re-direct the systemic venous flow to the right heart chambers. She subsequently had the cor-triatriatum dexter membrane resected via an uncomplicated open-heart surgery.

Unicuspid unicommissural aortic valve: an extremely rare congenital anomaly.

Project description:Unicuspid aortic valve is a rare congenital malformation that usually presents in the 3rd to 5th decade of life-and usually with severe aortic stenosis or regurgitation. It often requires surgical correction. Diagnosis can be made with 2- or 3-dimensional transthoracic or transesophageal echocardiography, cardiac computed tomography, or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. We report the case of a 31-year-old man who presented with dyspnea on exertion due to severe aortic stenosis secondary to a unicuspid unicommissural aortic valve. After aortic valve replacement, this patient experienced complete heart block that required the placement of a permanent pacemaker.

Cor triatriatum with supramitral ring: "cor tetratriatum", associated with Raghib syndrome with Eisenmenger syndrome: multimodality imaging approach in this exceedingly rare case report.

Project description:BackgroundCor triatriatum and supramitral ring are congenital anomalies which result in formation of three chambers of atria. To the best of our knowledge, simultaneous presence of both entities in the same patient resulting in the formation of four chambers of atria has not been described in the literature. Here, we report a case of simultaneous presence of cor triatriatum and supramitral ring associated with Raghib syndrome and Eisenmenger syndrome.Case presentationWe report the case of a middle-aged gentleman, who presented to us with features of atrial septal defect with Eisenmenger syndrome. Multimodality imaging confirmed the simultaneous presence of supramital ring and cor triatriatum resulting in "cor tetratriatum" along with Raghib syndrome. Presence of Eisenmenger syndrome compelled us to offer medical therapy for the patient.ConclusionThis is the first case report describing the simultaneous presence of supramitral ring and cor triatriatum resulting in a new entity-"cor tetratriatum".

Pathogenic variant in EPHB4 results in central conducting lymphatic anomaly.

Project description:Central conducting lymphatic anomaly (CCLA) is one of the complex lymphatic anomalies characterized by dilated lymphatic channels, lymphatic channel dysmotility and distal obstruction affecting lymphatic drainage. We performed whole exome sequencing (WES) of DNA from a four-generation pedigree and examined the consequences of the variant by transfection of mammalian cells and morpholino and rescue studies in zebrafish. WES revealed a heterozygous mutation in EPHB4 (RefSeq NM_004444.4; c.2334?+?1G>C) and RNA-Seq demonstrated that the EPHB4 mutation destroys the normal donor site, which leads to the use of a cryptic splice donor that results in retention of the intervening 12-bp intron sequence. Transient co-expression of the wild-type and mutant EPHB4 proteins showed reduced phosphorylation of tyrosine, consistent with a loss-of-function effect. Zebrafish ephb4a morpholino resulted in vessel misbranching and deformities in the lymphatic vessel development, indicative of possible differentiation defects in lymphatic vessels, mimicking the lymphatic presentations of the patients. Immunoblot analysis using zebrafish lysates demonstrated over-activation of mTORC1 as a consequence of reduced EPHB4 signaling. Strikingly, drugs that inhibit mTOR signaling or RAS-MAPK signaling effectively rescued the misbranching phenotype in a comparable manner. Moreover, knock-in of EPHB4 mutation in HEK293T cells also induced mTORC1 activity. Our data demonstrate the pathogenicity of the identified EPHB4 mutation as a novel cause of CCLA and suggesting that ERK inhibitors may have therapeutic benefits in such patients with complex lymphatic anomalies.

A rare case of partial cor triatriatum diagnosed at an adult age: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundCor triatriatum sinistra (CTS) is a rare condition where the left atrium (LA) is divided by a thin membrane into an upper and lower chamber. Incidentally, the diagnosis is made in late adulthood, usually because of a favourable variant such as in our patient who presented with partial CTS.Case summaryWe present the case of a 62-year-old female who presented with COVID-19. She was known for longstanding symptoms of dyspnoea on exertion as well as a minor stroke several years ago. Computed tomography on admission suggested there was a mass in the LA but transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed the diagnosis of partial CTS in which the superior compartment received pulmonary venous drainage from the right lung and the left-sided pulmonary veins drained into the inferior chamber. Since there were signs of chronic pulmonary oedema she successfully underwent balloon dilatation of the membrane resulting in remission of symptoms and normalization of the pressure in the accessory chamber.DiscussionPartial CTS is a rare variant of CTS. Since part of the pulmonary veins drains in the lower chamber of the LA (and thereby unload the right ventricle), it is a favourable variant and patients may present later in life when membrane orifices calcify or it may be discovered as an incidental finding. In some patients requiring intervention, balloon dilatation of the membrane may be considered as an alternative to surgical removal of the membrane by thoracotomy.
