The most prevalent presentation of CCHB is bradycardia that can be diagnosed through an electrocardiogram. Case report: Here in, we present the case of a full-term male neonate with gestational age of 37 weeks and birth weight of 2100g, whose mother had positive anti-Ro/SSA antibodies. The mother was asymptomatic without any criteria of systemic lupus erythematosus. The newborn presented with bradycardia, respiratory distress with structural heart disease. Baby was connected to mechanical ventilator and did not need pacemaker implantation. Conclusion: but is reversible with treatment.
