Crouzon Syndrome Associated with Congenital Coarctation of Aorta
Computed tomography scan of cardiac and main blood vessel showed that the proximal ascending aorta diameter was 12.2 mm, proximal aortic arch diameter was 5.5 mm, distal aortic arch was 3.5 mm, and the beyond left subclavian artery was 8.0 mm. Aortic isthmus was severely narrow, almost interrupted,...

Summary: | Computed tomography scan of cardiac and main blood vessel showed that the proximal ascending aorta diameter was 12.2 mm, proximal aortic arch diameter was 5.5 mm, distal aortic arch was 3.5 mm, and the beyond left subclavian artery was 8.0 mm. Aortic isthmus was severely narrow, almost interrupted, beyond which the vascular cavity diameter was 10.7 mm [Figure 1]b. The repeated magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a few other comorbidities such as on-progression hydrocephalus, cerebellar infratentorial herniation, posterior laryngeal wall stenosis, and severe obstructive sleep apnea [Figure 1]c. Thereby, a cranial decompression procedure was performed, followed by a combined elective surgery involving cardiac and neurological surgical units on December 6, 2017. [...]the patient was discharged 8 days postoperatively. [...]the combined surgical approach between cardiac surgery and neurosurgery was adopted to lower the perioperative risks and gain more time for advanced procedures. |
