Acute Bowel Ischemia in a Premature Neonate with Miller-Dieker Syndrome and Anomalous Right Coronary Artery From the Pulmonary Artery

Abstract

Miller-Dieker syndrome (MDS) is a rare disease characterized by type I lissencephaly, craniofacial dysmorphisms, intellectual disability, seizures, and death in early childhood. We report a case of a premature infant with MDS with an anomalous right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery who developed sudden bowel ischemia. This case prompts the reconsideration of cardiovascular involvement in patients with MDS. In addition, this review highlights key clinical features and reviews the critical manifestations of MDS that persist into childhood. [ Pediatr Ann . 2023;52(8):e283–e291.]
