A 15% of children with congenital heart disease also have an extracardiac abnormality.1 Tetralogy of Fallot is occasionally associated with various well known extracardiac malformation. We report a rare extracardiac associatation of congenital bronchiectasis and Tetralogy of Fallot presented in late childhood with breathlessness on exertion and frequent respiratory infections. This late presentation was probably due to less destruction caused by oligemic lung of Tetralogy of Fallot. She was successfully managed by intracardiac repair and left upper lobectomy in a single setting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
