Tetralogy of Fallot

Tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital cardiac malformation that consists of an interventricular communication, also known as a ventricular septal defect, obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract, override of the ventricular septum by the aortic root, and right ventricular hypertrophy.

Vascular ring

A developmental defect of the aortic arch system in which the trachea and esophagus are completely encircled by connected segments of the aortic arch and its branches. This occurs if the normal process of regression and persistence of the bilateral embryonic aortic arches fails.

The patients were a four month old with bronchial cartilage hypoplasia presenting as congenital lobar emphysema; a one month old with segmental bronchomalacia; a one month old with tracheal bronchus; a two day old and a seven month old with aneurysmal distension of the pulmonary arteries secondary to tetralogy of Fallot, with absent pulmonary valve and atrioventricular canal with pulmonary poststenotic dilatation, respectively; a three year old with double aortic arch forming a vascular ring; and a three month old with tracheomalacia from tracheoesophageal fistula.

[Di George syndrome].

Rev Chil Pediatr. 1991;62(6):381-5.
Their main clinical symptoms were hypocalcemic convulsions, unusual facies (hyperthelorism, low set prominent ears, micrognathia, short philtrum) and cardiac malformations (vascular ring with right aortic arc, aberrant left innominated artery and ligamentum arteriosus in one of them and Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary valve atresia in the other).
