Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My nephew is 1-month-old, and today we carried out an X-ray of his chest. The report shows oligemia in the lungs, pulmonary bay, right-sided aorta, and right ventricular hypertrophy. Is it due to congenital heart disease? Kindly suggest.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com
The baby's chest X-ray with oligemia in the lungs, pulmonary bay, right-sided aorta, and right ventricular hypertrophy is suggestive of a congenital heart defect, likely an atrial septal defect that is a hole in the partition of the heart. It will require dedicated work about the defect's size, cardiac function, shunt evaluation regarding the mixing of oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood, and structural modulations secondary to the defect. I would suggest a 2D echocardiogram for follow-up.
Thank you.
