Abstract:
The DiGeorge syndrome is a rare congenital abnormality consisting of aplasia or hypoplasia of the thymus and parathyroid glands resulting from malformation of the third and fourth pharyngeal pouches. This syndrome usually includes congenital cardiac anomalies and abnormal facial features. We experienced a case of congenital cardiac anomaly associated with DiGeorge syndrome. The patient was 1 month old boy weighing 3.5 kg. The congenital cardiac anomalies included ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, coactation of aorta, and patent ductus arteriosus. We performed one-stage operation with two separate incisions for these cardiac anomalies. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient at 6 months of follow up is doing well.
