Isolated right superior vena cava (SVC) draining to the left atrium (RSVC-LA) is an extremely rare cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD). Such lesion is easily missed with improper scanning or inattentive interpretation of echocardiography. This can result in potential systemic severe complications. We report a child with RSVC-LA who has two significant non-cardiac co-morbidities, including Waardenburg syndrome and n neurofibromatosis type I (NF1). This patient was referred to cardiology assessment due to unexplained low saturation and was diagnosed as RSVC-LA; however, fortunately not yet showing complications of systemic thromboembolic phenomenon (STEP).
孤立性右上腔静脉(SVC)引流至左心房(RSVC-LA)是一种极其罕见的青紫型先天性心脏病(CHD)。这种病变在超声心动图扫描不当或解读不仔细时很容易被漏诊。这可能导致潜在的全身性严重并发症。我们报告一名患有RSVC-LA的儿童,其患有两种严重的非心脏合并症,包括瓦登伯革氏综合征和I型神经纤维瘤病(NF1)。该患者因不明原因的低血氧饱和度被转诊至心脏科评估,被诊断为RSVC-LA;然而,幸运的是尚未出现全身性血栓栓塞现象(STEP)的并发症。
