Abstract
Whilst congenital heart disease in infants and young children is not an uncommon problem in clinical paediatrics, they are not cases that are frequently dealt with by the forensic pathology community. When they do present as Coronial autopsies, though, they can present many problems to the pathologist. We will review some of the common types of congenital heart disease, and the relevant operative management before describing several recent cases from Western Australia that will highlight the difficulties faced at autopsy and also the advantages of having a close working relationship with paediatric pathologists, cardiothoracic surgeons and paediatric cardiologists.
