| pubmed-article:1285626 | pubmed:abstractText | Cerebrovascular accidents and brain abscesses are the most worrisome complications of cyanogenic cardiac lesions in infants and young children, but remain rare in the adult. The authors report the case of a brain abscess which led to the subsequent discovery of a congenital cardiac malformation consisting of a ventricular septal defect and moderate pulmonary valve stenosis. Complete correction of the cardiac lesions was carried out three months after neurosurgical treatment (needle biopsy/drainage). | lld:pubmed |
