Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare neurological development of children with cyanotic or hemodynamically impaired congenital heart disease (CHD) and healthy controls by using "Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development Screening Test, Third Edition" (Bayley-III).
Patients: Children with CHD (n = 37) and healthy controls (n = 24) aged between 1 and 41 months who were admitted to the Department of Pediatric Cardiology at our university hospital were included. The participants were assessed using Bayley-III test. All patients had cyanotic or hemodynamically impaired CHD. Weight, height, body mass index (BMI), mid-arm circumference (MAC), triceps skinfold thickness (TSF), and head circumference (HC) were measured and standard deviation scores (SDSs) were determined.
Results: SDS values of weight, height, BMI, MAC, and TSF of the patients as well as HC values were significantly lower than the control group (P < .001). Compared with controls, the patients had significantly lower mean scores in all Bayley-III subscales (P < .001). We observed similar results in Bayley-III scores including the mean values of cognitive, language, and global motor scores for the CHD patients with and without cardiac surgery (P > .05).
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that children with cyanotic or hemodynamically impaired CHD have delayed neurodevelopmental outcomes compared with healthy children as assessed using Bayley-III.

Background: The study objective was to determine the impact of cardiopulmonary bypass perfusion modalities on cerebral hemodynamics and clinical outcomes in congenital cardiac surgery patients stratified by acyanotic versus cyanotic heart disease.
Methods: A total of 159 pediatric (age <18 years) cardiac surgery patients were prospectively randomized to pulsatile or nonpulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass and stratified by type of congenital heart disease: acyanotic versus cyanotic. Intraoperative cerebral gaseous microemboli counts and middle cerebral artery pulsatility index were assessed.
Changes in Cerebral Hemodynamics During Pediatric Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass for Congenital Heart Disease.

During pediatric cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for congenital heart disease, systemic hemodynamics dramatically change, which also causes changes in the cerebral hemodynamics. One of the representative methods in bedside monitoring for the estimation of cerebral hemodynamics during pediatric cardiac surgery is transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD). However, there seem to be few reports on the changes in TCD findings in such operations, especially in cyanotic children.

Ebstein's anomaly (EA) is a rare cyanotic form of congenital heart disease (CHD) characterized by apical displacement of the tricuspid valve, with resultant hemodynamic and electrical manifestations. The severity of symptoms is determined by the degree of apical displacement and deformity and incompetence of the tricuspid valve. As a result, patients with EA can be severely symptomatic during infancy and childhood or can be incidentally discovered in the sixth or seventh decade of life.

Article Synopsis
- A seven-year-old patient with Sturge-Weber Syndrome and Transposition of the Great Arteries presented with eye issues including retinal detachment and optic disc edema, alongside systemic symptoms like cyanosis and clubbed fingers.
- Following cardiac surgeries aimed at improving oxygenation, the patient's ocular symptoms significantly improved, demonstrating the connection between heart health and eye conditions.
- This case underscores how complex vascular issues in conditions like Sturge-Weber Syndrome can affect both ocular and systemic health in children.
