We describe an asymptomatic 1-year-old boy who presented a continuous murmur, and was found to have a tunnel between the right atrium and the aorta. The definitive diagnosis was established by both echocardiography and aortography, and surgical interruption of the tunnel was successful. We emphasise the rarity of this condition, and discuss its major features.
我们描述了一名1岁无症状男童,其出现连续性杂音,经检查发现右心房与主动脉之间存在一个通道。通过超声心动图和主动脉造影确诊,对该通道进行手术阻断获得成功。我们强调了这种病症的罕见性,并讨论了其主要特征。
