Abstract

This is a unique case of microbubbles incidentally found on echocardiogram in a child with unpalliated CHD. The microbubbles were found in both the venous and arterial circulations and spontaneously resolved. A detailed evaluation was done to identify the source of air in the circulation. The child did have concurrent necrotising enterocolitis, and it was felt that the bubbles were secondary to this and intestinal translocation of air.
