This article attempts to familiarise practitioners that usually deal with congenital heart disease with the conventional views that are obtained during adult echocardiography. 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/4087 Title: Mycoplasma pneumonia : an unusual cause of acute myocarditis in childhood Authors: Formosa Gouder, Mireille; Bailey, Mark; Muscat, C.; Grech, Victor E.; Barbara, Christopher Abstract: Mycoplasma pneumoniae is primarily a respiratory pathogen but may affect exhibit a diverse range of presentations from asymptomatic infection to life threatening conditions. Myocarditis of varying severity is an unusual complication. We report a 6 year old with mycoplasma myocarditis, a rare age for such a presentation, and who responded well to treatment with no sequelae. Serological testing for Mycoplasma pneumoniae should be part of the routine work-up for myocarditis. 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/4084 Title: A large, single pulmonary arteriovenous fistula presenting hours after birth Authors: McBrien, Angela H.; Sands, Andrew John; Gladstone, D.J. Abstract: This article reports a case of a single, large pulmonary artery to left atrial fistula presenting within hours of birth. Symptomatic fistulas of this type are exceptionally rare in the neonatal period. The images of the fistula obtained during echocardiography and cardiac catheterisation is included. This case highlights the importance of intra-operative echocardigraphic guidance during surgical ligation of fistulas of this type. 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/4081 Title: Severe dilated cardiomyopathy as an unusual finding in a young infant with mucolipidosis type 2 Authors: Mueller, Peter; Moeckel, A.; Daehnert, I. Abstract: A neonate presented with mucopolysaccharidosis-like phenotypic expression and typical signs of dysostosis multiplex but without urinary excretion of glycosaminoglycans. Investigations of lysosomal enzymes in cultured fibroblasts revealed a mucolipidosis type 2, known as I-cell disease. This article describes the fatal course of the patient due to complications of an uncommon dilated cardiomyopathy in this rare disease and discusses the pathogenesis. 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z
