| In absence of atrial fibrillation, right heart thrombi (RHT) mostly represent an embolus in transit originating from a deep venous thrombosis which has the propensity of distal embolization. They are uncommon but are associated with higher mortality (80-100%). Right atrial clots may also form in-situ and are mostly small and immobile. There is little if any consensus for the optimal management of RHT, thus being challenging, most importantly, when treating a combination of in transit and in-situ RHT.

Kenza Dafir et al. 1p36 deletion syndrome (OMIM: 607872) is a chromosomal abnormality characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, a characteristic facial dysmorphism made up of straight eyebrows, sunken eyes, wide and flat nasal bridge, upper floor middle of the hypoplastic face, a long philtrum, a pointed chin and a frequent delay in closing the anterior fontanel (>3cm at birth), microbrachycephaly, upturned ears of low implantation and malformed, brachydactyly, camptodactyly, short feet, hypotonia, developmental delay, intellectual deficit, seizures, heart defects and hearing and vision impairment. It is considered to be the most common terminal deletion in humans. It is estimated that the syndrome occurs in one in every 5,000 to 10,000 births without differentiation of sex or ethnicity READ MORE |
