Abstract
We report on a high vena cava inferior interruption immediately at the inse rtion to the right atrium in a patient with Hirschsprung disease assessed b y angiography, CT, and MRL Hirschsprung disease is frequently associated wi th Down, Undine, Waardenburg, Bardet-Biedl, Smith-Lemli-Opitz and Goldberg- Sphrintzen syndromes. We suggest that the association of these two malforma tions are most likely interrelated and should be considered as a new syndro me.
