[Cardiopathies in Di George's syndrome].
Based on 11 personal cases a large review of the literature (188 cases), the authors studied the frequency and types of cardiac anomalies in Di George syndrome. A cardiac anomaly was found in 86% of published cases. Interrupted aortic arch (27%), truncus arteriosus (27%) and tetralogy of Fallot (22%) are the most frequent anomalies. Interrupted aortic arch and truncus arteriosus, being rare congenital heart diseases, their discovery in a neonate must lead to a systematic search for Di George syndrome.
