Isolated supravalvular pulmonary stenosis in a 25-day-old newborn infant: An occasional and early diagnosis

An occasional diagnosis of isolated pulmonary stenosis

“…It has been reported a primary isolated pulmonary artery stenosis in an asymptomatic 25-day-old newborn infant [6] and a rare case of isolated pulmonary stenosis in a 66-year-old woman has been reported too [7]. We present a case of primary isolated pulmonary artery stenosis in an asymptomatic 11-year-old Italian woman where the diagnosis was made during a cardiovascular check-up.…”

“…Pulmonary stenosis can occur as part of more congenital cardiac malformations [1][2][3][4][5] or as rare primary isolated pulmonary stenosis [6,7]. It has been reported a primary isolated pulmonary artery stenosis in an asymptomatic 25-day-old newborn infant [6] and a rare case of isolated pulmonary stenosis in a 66-year-old woman has been reported too [7].…”

Surgical outcome of isolated congenital supravalvular pulmonary stenosis: a case series

“…It is usually misdiagnosed as pulmonary valvular stenosis on TTE and usually confirmed on cardiac catheterization and pulmonary angiography study. There are few individual case reports 8–11 but only two case series so far to the best of our knowledge 12 , 13 . Bacha et al 12 reported surgical autologous tissue repair of SPS in eight cases.…”

“…The presenting age of the patients is variable depending upon the severity of the stenosis. We encountered the disease in toddlers but there have been case reports of presentation in neonates, 8 children, 11 and even in a septuagenarian 9 …”
