Multiple cardiac anomalies in an elderly man with Klinefelter's syndrome.
Journal Title: Singapore Medical Journal - Year 2011, Vol 52, Issue 1
Abstract
We report a case of an elderly man with Klinefelter's syndrome and multiple cardiac defects, including partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection, atrial septal defect and pulmonary arterial hypertension. To the best of our knowledge, partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection in association with Klinefelter's syndrome has never been described in the literature. This anomalous pulmonary connection was a serendipitous discovery following the malpositioning of a peripherally inserted central catheter.
