[Hypoplastic left heart syndrome due to aortic and mitral atresias: report of one case].
A three-day-old female infant was transferred to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit with chief presenting problems of progressive change of cyanosis and respiratory distress. Physical examination revealed tachypnea, acrocyanosis, hepatomegaly, undetectable pulse of extremities and oozing over the place of venous puncture. Chest roentgenograms revealed slight cardiomegaly; other X-rays were within normal limits. Complete electrocardiograms showed right axis deviation and right ventricular hypertrophy. Because of an impression of neonatal sepsis, the patient was put in an incubator with oxygen and antibiotics were given. Persistent anuria appeared associated with sighs of cardiac and renal failure; the ventilator was applied; dopamine and lasix were also given. Unfortunately, the cyanosis worsened progressive. Despite several attempts at resuscitations, the infant expired eight hours later. Pathology disclosed the heart size as normal; hypoplasia of ascending aorta as 0.4 cm in diameter; a PDA with 1 cm in diameter; a diminutive bean-sized left ventricle; hypertrophy of right ventricle and atresias of aortic and mitral valves. There was no evidence of septicemia.
