Abstract
A 2-year-old boy initially misdiagnosed with dextro-Transposition of the Great Arteries (d-TGA) was accurately diagnosed with Berry syndrome-an extremely rare congenital heart defect-using multimodal imaging and 3D printing. Echocardiography and CTA revealed aortopulmonary window, anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery, type A aortic arch interruption, and patent ductus arteriosus. A patient-specific 3D-printed model from CTA data significantly enhanced visualization of complex vascular anatomy. This case highlights the value of combining multimodal imaging and 3D printing for diagnosing Berry syndrome and improving surgical planning for complex congenital heart defects.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (JCU) is an international journal dedicated to the worldwide dissemination of scientific information on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medical sonography.
The scope of the journal includes--but is not limited to--the following areas: sonography of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, vascular system, nervous system, head and neck, chest, breast, musculoskeletal system, and other superficial structures; Doppler applications; obstetric and pediatric applications; and interventional sonography. Studies comparing sonography with other imaging modalities are encouraged, as are studies evaluating the economic impact of sonography. Also within the journal''s scope are innovations and improvements in instrumentation and examination techniques and the use of contrast agents.
JCU publishes original research articles, case reports, pictorial essays, technical notes, and letters to the editor. The journal is also dedicated to being an educational resource for its readers, through the publication of review articles and various scientific contributions from members of the editorial board and other world-renowned experts in sonography.
