Uncommon Case of Intrapericardial Nontyphoidal Salmonella Infection in a Preterm Baby Presenting As a Cardiac Tumor.

We report a case of an intrapericardial infection resulting from Salmonella Tennessee in a 2-month-old baby, which, upon initial presentation, was masked by a cardiac tumor. The diagnosis was confirmed after successful surgical resection of the mass. Transmission of the infection may have occurred between mother and child in utero, rendering this case extremely unusual.

Surgical repair of Shone's complex with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery arising from the right pulmonary artery.

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly. ALCAPA from the right pulmonary artery (RPA) is a small subset of this anomaly, with only a few reported cases to date. We describe an extremely uncommon association of Shone's complex with ALCAPA from the RPA in a case where simultaneous surgery for both anomalies was successfully carried out in a neonate.
