Ebstein’s anomaly is a rare congenital heart defect accounting for <1% of all cases. It is commonly associated with other cardiac malformations particularly, 50% of the patients are associated with atrial septal defect. We report a 22-year-old lady diagnosed to have Ebstein’s anomaly with small atrial septal defect. She was surgically managed in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University by replacing the defective tricuspid valve withSt Jude Medical Epic porcine bio-prosthetic heart valve along with plication of atrialized portion of right ventricle and direct closure of the atrial septal defect.This resulted in excellent symptomatic improvement.University Heart Journal Vol. 12, No. 1, January 2016; 37-39

Insight Into

A young lady was ventilated on intensive care for a prolonged period with NMDA receptor encephalitis. She had undergone steroid, immunoglobulin, and plasmapheresis with no evidence of recovery. Her main management issue was the control of severe orofacial and limb dyskinesia. Large doses of sedating agents had been used to control the dystonia but were ineffective, unless she was fully anaesthetised. The introduction of a ketamine infusion was associated with a dramatic improvement in her symptoms such that it was possible to remove her tracheostomy two days after commencement. She was discharged shortly after that and is making a good recovery. The successful use of ketamine has not previously been described in this context, and we hope this case report will provide some insight into the management of this rare but serious condition.

Spinal Cord Tethering

Tethered cord syndrome (TCS) may rarely remain asymptomatic until degenerative or nondegenerative lumbar diseases superimpose in adulthood and expose the hidden anomaly. In such cases, different treatment options can be selected and simultaneous detethering might be considered too. We are reporting an undiscovered TCS in a young lady who underwent lumbar diskectomy due to symptomatic disk extrusion and suffered complete cauda equina syndrome (CES), postoperatively.

Acute Hyponatremia

There have been a number of recent reports describing water intoxication in infants.1-4 In each case, hyponatremia followed an excessive intake of free water, either as the result of feeding mismanagement1-3 or vigorous hydration with water during a febrile illness.4 This report describes an infant who developed hyponatremia and seizures after swallowing an unknown volume of water during a swimming lesson. We will discuss the case and comment on present recommendations for preschool swimming instruction. CASE REPORT An 11-month-old girl was in excellent health until the day of admission. During a 60-minute swimming lesson, she was noted to swallow more water than usual, but exhibited no unusual symptomatology while in the pool.
