Right ventricular hypoplasia and aortic stenosis: autopsy case.
Neonatal cardiac malformation cases mostly need surgical repair. It is important to describe the morphological features of these malformations. A 3-months-old baby girl was brought to a local clinic after three days antibiotic therapy. No signs of life were present. Autopsy findings showed adhesion of right ventricular surfaces which caused the chamber volume to significantly decrease. The ventricular wall was thinned, out and become crescent shaped. This rare autopsy case, with right ventricle hypoplasia and severe stenosis of aorta is presented.
