Absent pulmonary valve syndrome is represented by rudimentary nodules without identifiable leaflets, and it is commonly associated with a ventricular septal defect and tetralogy of Fallot. Unilateral absence of a pulmonary artery is also a rare congenital anomaly. The following is a case report of a one-day-old newborn with cyanosis. The physical examination revealed a to-and-fro murmur and no expansion of the left hemithorax. Echocardiography revealed tetralogy of Fallot, absent pulmonary valve, and enlarged main and right pulmonary arteries. The catheterization and angiography confirmed the diagnosis and absence of the left pulmonary artery.
肺动脉瓣缺如综合征表现为无明显瓣叶的发育不全结节,常与室间隔缺损和法洛四联症相关。单侧肺动脉缺如也是一种罕见的先天性异常。以下是一例一日龄新生儿发绀的病例报告。体格检查发现有来回杂音且左半胸无扩张。超声心动图显示法洛四联症、肺动脉瓣缺如以及主肺动脉和右肺动脉增粗。心导管检查和血管造影证实了诊断及左肺动脉缺如。
