title: A quadricuspid pulmonic valve diagnosed in a live newborn by two-dimensional echocardiography.
abstract: Quadricuspid pulmonic valve is a rare congenital anomaly which appears to occur in the absence of other cardiac or systemic anomalies. It predominates in males and tends to be clinically quiescent. The first case of quadricuspid pulmonic valve in a live newborn infant diagnosed by two-dimensional echocardiography is presented here with a review of the literature.
