✦ Synopsis
A 20-day-old female neonate was admitted with symptoms caused by a large ventricular septal defect which was subsequently confirmed angiographically. Other clinical findings were preand postnatal growth retardation, microcephaly, dysmorphism of ears, fingers and feet. Cytogenetic analysis revealed a ring chromosome 15. Despite a palliative banding operation of the pulmonary artery, the infant succumbed to complications of her congenital heart disease in the 4th month of life.
