“…When the defect is early diagnosed and in the absence of other malformations, intraoperative mortality is low, the long-term prognosis is satisfactory, and the reoperation rate is low [22]. If the diagnosis is delayed, pulmonary resistance should be assessed, because progression to an irreversible pulmonary vascular disease contraindicates surgery [23]. The major postoperative complication is stenosis of the pulmonary branches [24].…”

Some studies have shown an association between osteogenesis imperfecta and congenital heart diseases, but only those involving changes in the connective tissue of heart structures, such as heart valves, chordae tendineae, fibrous rings, ventricular septum and aortic root (dilatation). The concomitant presence of osteogenesis imperfecta and aortopulmonary window has not been reported in the specialized literature, rendering the present case report uncommon. We report the case of a male infant aged 2 months and 15 days, diagnosed with type I osteogenesis imperfecta and type I aortopulmonary window, submitted to surgery to completely repair his heart disease. In addition, we provide a literature review and discuss the clinical and surgical approaches to this infant, emphasizing that previous multidisciplinary planning is essential for a successful outcome.

Diabetes mellitus is among the most common chronic diseases worldwide. Infants of diabetic mothers are at increased risk of having congenital abnormalities. Tremendous progress has been achieved in the pregnancy care of diabetic women; however, the risk of birth defects associated with maternal diabetes still exists. These anomalies might arise in many organs and systems of the developing fetus. Many mechanisms have been implicated in the teratogenicity of maternal diabetes and it is critical to achieve good glycemic control before conception in women with diabetes. Neonatal clinicians must be able to identify patients at risk and recognize the signs of diabetic embryopathy. This article presents a review of congenital anomalies associated with maternal diabetes.
