[Cardiac malformations with septal defects. Apropos of a case of biloculate heart with transposition and aortic atresia].
The Authors describe a case of uniatrial univentricular heart with a right transposition and atresia of the aorta. This case forms part of an autoptic series of 74 congenital cardiopathies with defects of the septal system: monometameric (52 cases), polymetameric (22 cases), and limited (66 cases) or broad DIA, DIV or FAP types (8 cases). Having outlined the correlations between the type of defect and the complex morphogenetic events, whose close integration leads to a continuous septal system, the Authors focus their attention on the common associations between septal defects and other cardio-vascular anomalies (66 cases). The analysis of findings supports hypothesis that many of these are due to alterations in the position and direction of individual septal buds are should be seen against the overall background of septal pathology. Under these circumstances the pathogenetic importance of alterations of the complex movements presented by the cardiac type during the course of septal development and, to an event greater extent, possible alterations of the embryonal hematic flow are underlined.
