Title: Fungal endocarditis in a premature infant complicated by a right atrial mycetoma and inferior vena cava thrombosis Authors: Sharma, Jayendra; Nagraj, A.; Allapathi, Deepti; Rajegowda, B.; Leggiadro, Robert Abstract: The incidence of fungal endocarditis in premature infants is on the rise, reported in the last decade secondary to use of central venous lines, the frequent use of broad spectrum antibiotics and neonatal surgical interventions. Central line related thrombosis is a significant risk factor for persistent fungemia and end organ complications including endocarditis. This article presents a fatal case of progressive thrombosis of the inferior vena cava and right atrial mycetoma in a premature infant with candidemia who underwent ileostomy for bowel perforation. Renal failure occurred secondary to inferior vena cava thrombosis and right atrial mycetoma, both of which had a potential for hemodynamic compromise and embolism.

Title: Biventricular noncompaction : a rare cause of fetal distress and tricuspid regurgitation Authors: Radhakrishnan, Sitaraman; Tomar, Munesh Abstract: Isolated noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium involving both ventricles is a rare entity. This article reports a rare case of biventricular noncompaction presenting with features of fetal distress and moderate tricuspid regurgitation. Noncompaction of both ventricles was diagnosed at birth.

Title: Isolated subpulmonary membrane causing critical neonatal pulmonary stenosis with concordant atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial connections Authors: Tomar, Munesh; Radhakrishnan, Sitaraman; Sharma, R. Abstract: This article reports a rare case of isolated subpulmonary membrane leading to critical pulmonary stenosis in an infant. This anomaly needs to be differentiated from valvar pulmonary stenosis as both anomalies require different modality of treatment (surgical/catheter).

Title: Organized intra-atrial thrombus in growing premature infant Authors: Kazi, A.; Lei, Dongsheng; Sharma, Jayendra Abstract: This article reports interesting echocardiographic images of the atrial septum in two growing premature infants related to the previous use of umbilical venous lines in the neonatal period. Complications related to central venous lines are well documented but when they are identified in follow up after several months, their relevance is difficult to establish. Atrial septal findings of organized clot in these asymptomatic infants needs to be correlated with details of neonatal care.
