A 12-year-old Indian girl presented with acyanotic pink tetralogy of Fallot, characterized by typical echocardiographic findings with mild aortic override.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights a presentation of 'Pink Tetralogy of Fallot' in a 12-year-old Indian girl with mild right ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
Tetralogy of Fallot is a common congenital heart condition characterized by four primary features and several minor associated findings. The four primary elements consist of aortic override, a membranous ventricular septal defect, right ventricular hypertrophy, and obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract. The patient's prognosis is determined by the severity of the obstruction in the right ventricular outflow tract. Literature documents cases of survival past the fifth decade, whether or not correction was applied. Cyanosis emerges during the first year of life if it is not evident at birth. When mild right ventricular outflow tract obstruction and a balanced ventricular septal defect prevent cyanotic spells, the condition is known as “Pink Tetralogy of Fallot.” We report a 12-year-old Indian girl with acyanotic pink tetralogy of Fallot, characterized by typical echocardiographic findings with mild aortic override.
