Huynh T, Pham T, Ho P, Cam P, Pham V, Vu P. Asymptomatic congenital ductus arteriosus aneurysm in a newborn: Case by approach. Radiol Case Rep 2023; 18:3917-3921. [PMID: 37663558 PMCID: PMC10473969 DOI: 10.1016/j.radcr.2023.08.050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2023] [Revised: 08/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023] Open
Abstract
A ductus arteriosus aneurysm is a rare congenital lesion with a localized saccular or tubular dilation of the ductus arteriosus. This lesion usually appears in all ages. Some case reports suggest the most common age of diagnosis is less than 2 months. We reported a case of an asymptomatic ductus arteriosus aneurysm in neonates. Echocardiography at 2 days of age revealed a tubular dilation of the ductus arteriosus connected to the pulmonary artery. Computed tomography angiogram showed a ductus arteriosus aneurysm with thrombus at the pulmonary end. It resolved spontaneously in the six months of life without serious complications.

Ductus arteriosus: more than just the patent ductus arteriosus. Pediatr Radiol 2022; 52:1426-1436. [PMID: 35809133 DOI: 10.1007/s00247-022-05387-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2021] [Revised: 03/08/2022] [Accepted: 04/22/2022] [Indexed: 10/17/2022]
Abstract
The ductus arteriosus is important to fetal circulation. Failure to close at birth is a common event. In this educational pictorial essay, we illustrate the association of the ductus arteriosus with a variety of congenital cardiac, vascular and pulmonary lesions. These lesions can impact the systemic circulation, the pulmonary circulation or the airway and include coarctation of the aorta, ductal origin of the pulmonary artery and vascular rings.
