Some of the problems of padiatric congenital diseases are shown below:
Every normal looking newborn baby should have a careful physical examination including auscultation of the precordial region, palpation of brachial and femoral arteries and evaluation of blood pressure in the superior and inferior extremities
2. Congestive heart failure in children is related to various mechanical problems- diastolic and systolic overload, valvular regurgitation and myocardial abnormalities
3. Treatment of infective endocarditis
This is an uncommon complication below 2 years of age. It is commonly seen in conditions where a high pressure source ( left ventricle or aorta ) drives blood at high velocity through a narrow orifice( coarctation of aorta, small VSD, small ductus or regurgitant aortic or mitral valves) into low pressure sink (atrium, pulmonary trunk, right ventricle) producing a venturi effect and damage to endocardium.
4. Cardiac catheterization has added a new dimension in the management of congenital heart disease in some conditions provide an effective alternative option to circumvent the surgical management. Interventional catheterization can be grouped into four general types:
Atrial septostomy
Balloon valve dilationss
Vessel Dilations and vascular stents
Occlusion procedures
5. A congenital dermal sinus is a tract lined by stratified squamous epithelium found in, or very near, the midline anywhere from the nasal bridge to the coccyx (tailbone). The tract may end just below the skin surface or may extend to the conus medullaris (part of the spinal cord) or the central canal of the spinal cord from the back, the fourth ventricle from the occipital region, or the crista galli from the nasal bridge.
