'''Shone's Syndrome''' is a rare congenital heart disease characterized by multiple left-sided heart obstructions. The syndrome was first described by Dr. John Shone in 1963. The four classic lesions associated with Shone's Syndrome include supravalvular mitral membrane, parachute mitral valve, subaortic stenosis, and coarctation of the aorta. However, not all patients with Shone's Syndrome will have all four lesions. | '''Shone's Syndrome''' is a rare congenital heart disease characterized by multiple left-sided heart obstructions.

Shone's Syndrome is a rare congenital heart disease characterized by multiple left-sided heart obstructions. The syndrome was first described by Dr. John Shone in 1963. The four classic lesions associated with Shone's Syndrome include supravalvular mitral membrane, parachute mitral valve, subaortic stenosis, and coarctation of the aorta. However, not all patients with Shone's Syndrome will have all four lesions.
Etiology[edit]
The exact cause of Shone's Syndrome is unknown. It is believed to be a result of abnormal development of the heart during the first 8 weeks of pregnancy. The condition is not thought to be inherited.
Symptoms[edit]
The symptoms of Shone's Syndrome can vary greatly depending on the severity of the condition and the number of lesions present. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, poor weight gain, and a heart murmur. In severe cases, symptoms may be present at birth.
Diagnosis[edit]
Diagnosis of Shone's Syndrome is typically made through a combination of physical examination, echocardiogram, and cardiac catheterization. An echocardiogram can provide detailed images of the heart and its structures, while a cardiac catheterization can measure pressures within the heart chambers and blood vessels.
Treatment[edit]
Treatment for Shone's Syndrome is typically surgical and aims to relieve the obstructions. The type of surgery performed will depend on the number and location of the lesions. In some cases, multiple surgeries may be required.
Prognosis[edit]
The prognosis for individuals with Shone's Syndrome can vary greatly depending on the severity of the condition and the success of surgical interventions. With early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, many individuals with Shone's Syndrome can lead normal lives. See also:
