Abstract:
We present a case of a 34-day-old baby boy with congestive heart failure and differential cyanosis. Based on echocardiography and confirmed with computed tomography angiography, the following abnormalities were detected: aortopulmonary window, aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery, patent ductus arteriosus, and hypoplasia/coarctation of the aorta. No other congenital abnormalities were detected, and a diagnosis of Berry Syndrome type 2B was made. No preoperative cardiac catheterization or angiocardiography was needed. The patient underwent complete surgical repair of the aortopulmonary window and reconstruction of the hypoplastic aortic arch. This case highlights the value of cross-sectional imaging with computed tomography angiography in the evaluation of complex congenital heart disease.
