Abstract

16p12.2 microdeletion has been associated with congenital heart defects and developmental delay. In this case, we describe the rare association between tetralogy of Fallot with an absent pulmonary valve a right-sided aortic arch and a retro-aortic innominate vein associated with a 16p12.2 microdeletion and epilepsy.

Keywords: absent pulmonary valve; congenital heart disease; innominate vein; tetralogy of Fallot.
