Key result
Ebstein's malformation was diagnosed in a patient with Down's syndrome, representing an extremely rare clinical association with only three previously reported cases.
This case report highlights a rare association between Down's syndrome and Ebstein's malformation.
Alerts clinicians to this rare pairing; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.
We report a patient with Down's syndrome referred to our Department of Echocardiography for evaluation after an episode of tachyarrhythmia. We diagnosed Ebstein's malformation. As far as we know, this association has been reported previously on only three occasions. We review these previous cases, describe our echocardiographic techniques, and discuss our experience.
