Multidisciplinary approach is mandatory in such patients. In particular, detailed cardiac and ophthalmologic examination should be performed, and the patient should be evaluated in terms of audiometric test and genital organs. A two-month-old baby was brought to our clinic with weakness, fatigue, irritability, vomiting, feeding difficulty, and rapid respiration picture. On her physical examination, general status was poor; arrhythmia, tachycardia, and gallop rhythm were detected on cardiac examination and a 5-6 cm hepatomegaly was detected on abdominal examination. In chest radiograph revealed cardiomegaly; In electrocardiography (ECG) revealed atrial flutter attacks with 1:1 rhythm; transthoracic echocardiography revealed dilated cardiomyopathy (EF; 35%, FS; 16%), aortic coarctation in the aortic arch and in the thin, classical part of descending aorta (mean gradient; 30-35 mmHg), and fine patent ductus arteriosus. During the catheterization, tubular hypoplasia of the aortic arch and istmic aortic coarctation, and hypoplasia was observed in the thoracic and abdominal aorta. The patient was considered to have middle aortic syndrome. Moreover, ocular coloboma and retardation of growth and development were identified in the patient. Cardiac and ophthalmic signs together with the signs of retardation of growth and development were considered probable CHARGE syndrome according to the diagnostic criteria reviewed in 2003. Dilated cardiomyopathy secondary to aortic coarctation is a common condition. Dilated cardiomyopathy improves with appropriate and effective therapy. The prevalence of concurrency of CHARGE syndrome and congenital cardiac disease is 60-70%. Different pictures of congenital cardiac disease can be seen. We, here, introduced a case considered to have CHARGE syndrome together with middle aortic syndrome, the concurrency of which has been seen very little.","PeriodicalId":290827,"journal":{"name":"Gaziantep Medical Journal","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125235266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
