Fabry disease is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the GLA gene, leading to deficient α-galactosidase A activity and, consequently, to glycosphingolipid accumulation in a wide variety of cells. Fabry disease due to N215S (c.644A>G, p.Asn215Ser) missense mutation usually results in a late-onset phenotype presenting with isolated cardiac involvement. We herein present the case of a patient with N215S mutation with cardiac involvement, namely left ventricular hypertrophy and ventricular arrhythmias, and end-stage renal disease requiring kidney transplantation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a kidney-transplanted Fabry patient treated with oral pharmacologic chaperone migalastat.

Cor triatriatum dexter (CTD) is an extremely uncommon and underreported congenital cardiac anomaly in which the persistence of the embryonic right venous valve separates the right atrium into two chambers with varying degrees of obstruction to antegrade flow and variable degree of right to left shunt at atrial level. Depending on the size of the valves, clinical manifestations vary from absence of symptoms to severe hypoxia, requiring urgent surgical correction. We herein describe the diagnostic difficulties in a case of neonatal CTD, who developed increasingly severe and unresponsive cyanosis, first interpreted as postnatal maladjustment with pulmonary hypertension. The failure to respond to oxygen and pulmonary vasodilators led us to reconsider a different diagnosis. The use of contrast echocardiography improved the diagnostic performance of transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) and revealed a massive right-to-left shunt secondary to the presence of an atrial membrane that required urgent surgery.
