    A Rare Giant Congenital Left Atrial Appendage Aneurysm in A 1-Day-Old Newborn
    (2018) Sahin, Derya Aydin; Yildirim, Selman Vefa; Ozkan, Murat; 29648705
    Congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) is a very rare condition and occurs as a result of congenital dysplasia of musculi pectinate. These patients may be asymptomatic and/or may present with dyspnea, and thromboembolic events. The most common complications are life-threatening thromboembolic events and supraventricular tachyarrhythmias. Transthoracic echocardiography plays a very important role in the diagnosis of LAAA. Herein, we present a rare case of giant congenital LAAA.

    A case of neonatal arterial thrombosis mimicking interrupted aortic arch
    (2015) Gursu, Hazim Alper; Varan, Birgul; Oktay, Ayla; Ozkan, Murat; 26265897
    Neonatal arterial thrombosis is a very rare entity with clinical findings resembling coarctation of aorta or interrupted aortic arch. A two day-old male newborn was admitted to another hospital with difficulty in sucking and sleepiness. On echocardiographic examination, a diagnosis of interrupted aortic arch was made and he was treated with prostoglandin E2. On physical examination, on admission to our center, the feet were bilaterally cold. The pulses were not palpable and there were ecchymotic regions in the lower extremities. Echocardiography ruled out interrupted aortic arch. Computerized tomographic angiography revealed a large thrombosis and total occlusion of the abdominal aorta. Since there was no response to treatment with tissue plasminogen activator, we performed thrombectomy. Homozygous Factor V Leiden and Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase mutations were found in this patient. Neonatal aortic thrombosis which is observed very rarely but which is fatal should be considered in the differential diagnosis of coarctation of aorta and interrupted aortic arch.
