Aortopulmonary window, aortic arch interruption, and anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery in a neonate with Goldenhar syndrome

Abstract

Abstract The combination of aortopulmonary window, interruption of the aortic arch, and anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta is a rare and complex congenital cardiac malformation. Despite good prenatal care in our case, this cardiac anomaly was not detected prior to birth. Untreated infants who do not undergo surgical correction have a mortality rate of 70% in their first year, and 30% will die within the first 3 months of life.
