Although 40 years have passed since the first case of DiGeorge's syndrome was described, and the knowledge about this disorder has steadily increased since that time, 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (DS) remains a challenging diagnosis because its clinical presentation varies widely. We describe an infant with 22q11.2 DS who presented with annular pancreas, anorectal malformation, Morgagni-type congenital diaphragmatic hernia, and ventricular septal defect. This constellation of anomalies has never been described in DiGeorge's syndrome. Here, we provide a case presentation and a thorough review of the literature.
尽管自首例迪乔治综合征病例被描述以来已过去40年,且自那时起对该疾病的认识不断增加,但22q11.2缺失综合征(DS)仍是一个具有挑战性的诊断,因为其临床表现差异很大。我们描述了一名患有22q11.2 DS的婴儿,其表现为环状胰腺、肛门直肠畸形、莫尔加尼型先天性膈疝和室间隔缺损。这种异常组合在迪乔治综合征中从未被描述过。在此,我们提供一个病例报告并对文献进行全面综述。
