Abstract
In 7 infants with DiGeorge syndrome [congenital absence or hypoplasia of the thymus and parathyroid glands] the major clinical manifestation was cardiac failure in the 1st wk of life. All had severe congenital heart disease: 5 had interruption of the aortic arch and associated lesions, 1 had a ventricular septal defect and a cervical aorta, and 1 had truncus arteriosus. All but 1 died by 2 wk of age. Necropsy data lent support to the hypothesis of a relation between the cardiovascular anomalies and defective development of structures derived from the 3rd and 4th pharyngeal pouches.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
