A CASE OF TETRALOGY OF FALLOT: ASSESSMENT BY MULTI-DETECTOR CT ANGIOGRAM

Abstract

Tetralogy of Fallot is reported as the most common congenital cardiac disorder in with reported 7 to 10 % incidence in human population worldwide. ⁽¹⁾ It is not only the most common cyanotic heart disease also the most frequent of the complex congenital heart disease presenting in adults. ^(1,2) The intracardiac spectrum of this cardiac anomaly are detected on echocardiography such as ventricular septal defect with overriding of aorta and right ventricular hypertrophy. Pulmonary stenosis can also be detected on echo through pressure gradients even if it’s not directly visualized. However, the extra-cardiac associations and manifestations do create room for noninvasive imaging through muti detector CT scans. ⁽³⁾ We report a case of Tetralogy of Fallot with its presurgical multidetector CT Angiogram that contribute to the presurgical planning.
