RESUMO
Pulmonary calcification is uncommon in children. It is rarely described following cardiac surgery. Here, the authors describe the case of an infant who developed extensive pulmonary calcification following the repair of truncus arteriosus.

We report a case of common arterial trunk with thanatophoric dysplasia. The skeletal dysplasia was diagnosed during fetal life. Following early induction of labour, there was a post-mortem diagnosis of type 2 common arterial trunk. This report includes the radiological and post-mortem findings. To our knowledge, thanatophoric dysplasia has never previously been reported in combination with any major cardiac defect.

This is the second reported case of coarctation in a right aortic arch with an aberrant left brachiocephalic artery. In this patient, the right subclavian artery is aneurysmal, making this case unique. There is a pressure gradient of 34 mm Hg between ascending and descending aorta. Both the conventional and computed tomography angiographic images are presented. This is the first reported case to include imaging of this anatomy prior to surgery. It is also the first report of primary surgical management following a correct initial diagnosis.
