An Autopsied Case of a Neonate with the Anomalous Origin of Total Coronary Arteries from the Pulmonary Artery
Journal Title: International Journal of Forensic Science & Pathology (IJFP) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Coronary artery anomaly is not a very common disease. A neonate with the origin of total coronary arteries from the pulmonary artery (TCAPA) is extremely rare and fetal, which has not been yet reported in China. Here an autopsied case of TCAPA is reported to provide reference for the medical colleagues. A female infant died 9 hours after born when the hypoxia symptoms presented, although the rescue measures had already done. The cause of death was identified as TCAPA by forensic pathologists. In this case, TCAPA was ignored by the doctors because of non specifically clinical presentations. If it had been diagnosed, surgery should have been done immediately to be able to supply enough blood for the heart.
