Cyanosis in the condition is rare, although a transient cyanosis may sometimes be seen following bouts of crying or coughing.1Maude Abbott states that the left ventricle is characteristically more enlarged than the right, but a recent report by Keys and Shapiro2indicates that the reverse may be true. Pulmonary vascular sclerosis and polycythemia are not components of the syndrome as usually described. The following case of patent ductus arteriosus is remarkable in that (a) there was cyanosis of...Bibliography1. ABBOTT ME: Atlas of congenital cardiac disease, Am. Heart Assoc., 1936, New York.
