# Navigating Complex Cardiac Defects: A Neonatal Case of Pentalogy of Fallot With Vascular Anomalies Identified via Cardiac CT Angiography

## TL;DR

This paper presents a rare case of a newborn with a complex heart defect and additional vascular issues, diagnosed using advanced imaging.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in the detailed diagnosis of pentalogy of Fallot with vascular anomalies in a neonate using cardiac CT angiography.

## Key findings

- Pentalogy of Fallot was diagnosed in a 35-week gestation newborn.
- Cardiac CT angiography revealed additional vascular malformations.
- Advanced imaging is essential for characterizing complex congenital heart defects.

## Abstract

The pentalogy of Fallot stands out as one of the rarest and most complex congenital heart defects. Pulmonary artery stenosis, a ventricular septal defect, an overriding aorta, right ventricular hypertrophy, and atrial septal communication characterize it. Due to its complexity and associated malformations, advanced imaging methods, such as cardiac CT angiography, have become essential for proper characterization.

In this study, we report the case of a 35-week gestation newborn diagnosed with pentalogy of Fallot and additional vascular malformations, identified through cardiac CT angiography.
