Abstract

We report a case of Uhl's anomaly in a 3-week-old infant that underwent central shunt placement, patent duct us arteriosus and main pulmonary artery ligation. The infant presented with room air saturation of 43%, dilated right ventricle with decreased function and dilated right atrium. Diagnosis was established with a myocardial biopsy.

Keywords: Cyanosis in an infant; Uhl’sanomaly; right ventricular dysfunction; right-sided heart failure
