Both Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) are relatively common in childhood. While the former is congenital, the latter is usually acquired. Diagnosis and thorough profiling of patient with ALL remains a great challenge in most resource poor settings including our hospital. Despite the high prevalence of these conditions in our environment, there is no previously reported case of the two coexisting in an individual based on our literature search. We report a ten-year old boy in whom ALL unmasked the diagnosis of VSD and non-availability of diagnostic facilities prevented exploring any possible pathogenetic relationship between the two conditions in case of its existence.

Interventricular septal hematoma following congenital cardiac surgery is an uncommon entity. Literature search reveals few cases of interventricular septal hematoma complicating pediatric cardiac surgery. We report a case of interventricular septal hematoma following patch closure of ventricular septal defect, with associated myocardial necrosis and myocardial rupture.

We report a rare case of unrepaired Tetralogy_Pantalogy of Fallot (TOF_POF) in a 20 years old Persian girl Mrs Zeynab S., who presented with cyanotic finger tops appearance, ongoing chronic thrombolytic destruction processes, and remarkable thrombocytopenia [1,2], heart ventricular septal defect (VSD), and might atrial septal defect (ASD), anxiety, sleep disorders, nightmares, and limited social life. Additionally, the relationship between underlying mechanisms, possible treatments of the thrombocytopenia, erythrocytosis, and unrepaired cardiovascular leakages remains unknown.

Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is the most prevalent clinical form of leishmaniasis. CL is difficult for the clinicians to diagnose because of the rarity of the disease and non-specific presentation. As CL is rare and given the limitation of available diagnostic modalities in a resource poor setting, diagnosis can be confusing.

Pseudo-aneurysm is a fatal disease, and the main cause of death is massive hemorrhage secondary to the rupture of the aneurysm. This case report aims to evaluate the effects of pseudo-aneurysm excision procedure on the disease. A 4-year-old girl was readmitted on the 20th day after ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure procedure with a high fever of 40°C; aortic pseudo-aneurysm was suspected based on a spherical cystic echo (82 × 76 mm) of the ascending aorta which was detected by ultrasonic cardiogram, and the diagnosis was confirmed by an aortic computed tomograph angiography (CTA) examination and intraoperative findings. Treatment included emergency pseudo-aneurysm excision procedure and antibiotic therapy. The aortic pseudo-aneurysm was surgically removed under deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest. Antibiotics were applied according to the bacterial culture results. The pseudo-aneurysm was excised successfully, and the patient achieved a good recovery. Our case suggests that the postoperative ascending aortic pseudo-aneurysm was probably due to inappropriate purse-string suture and/or local or systematic infection, so extra precautions should be taken to avoid this life-threatening complication.
