Congenital right ventricular diverticulum in association with disseminated neonatal hemangiomatosis.
The case of a term infant with disseminated neonatal hemangiomatosis and congenital right ventricular diverticulum is reported. Visceral hemangiomas were present in the liver and kidneys and the patient had lower gastrointestinal bleeding that resolved. The right ventricular diverticulum remained clinically silent. The association of right ventricular diverticula and disseminated neonatal hemangiomatosis has not been previously documented in the literature.
