Persistent Truncus Arteriosus & Lung Hypoplasia - A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science in Clinical Research and Review - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 06
Abstract
Persistent Truncus Arteriosus is a RARE cyanotic congenital heart anomaly in which a single trunk supplies both the pulmonary and systemic circulation, instead of a separate aorta and a pulmonary trunk. It is usually classified as a cono truncal anomaly It is a major problem postnatally and, if left untreated, approximately 80% of infants die within the first year. Early Diagnosis should be made by radiologists and cardiologists due to fatal illness. We found it valuable to present a case of truncus arteriosus with lung hypoplasia with Imaging & 2D ECHO findings because of its impact on patient’s life and for it’s rare occurrence.
