Single ventricle heart is a rare cardiac abnormality identified by just a single ventricle involving various functional and physiological defects. This abnormality may cause sudden cardiac death. In this case, we reported a 71 day infant died on the fifth day after discharged from hospital who was buried without legal procedures. Autopsy findings were single ventricle, tricuspid atresia and aortic coarctation, a large heart weighing 134 grams. Our aim by reviewing this case report is to present the legal burial procedures, the autopsy and the clinical features of the subject.
Key words: Single ventricle, autopsy, exhumation
Tek ventrikül kalp, tek ventrikülle beraber çeşitli fonksiyonel ve fizyolojik kusurları içeren nadir bir kardiyak anomalidir. Bu anomali ani kardiyak ölüme neden olabilir. Bu olguda biz hastaneden taburcu olduktan sonra beşinci günde ölen ve defin ruhsatı alınmadan gömülen 71 günlük bebeği sunduk. Otopsi bulgularında tek ventrikül, triküspid atrezisi ve aort koarktasyonu, 134 gram ağırlığında büyük bir kalp vardı. Bu olgu sunumu ile amacımız bu konuyla ilgili yasal gömme prosedürleri, otopsi ve klinik özellikleri sunmaktır
