Surgical repair is possible, and accurate clinical recognition is therefore imperative. After establishing the diagnosis in 20 cases by cardiac catheterization, we have attempted to correlate our clinical findings in an effort to draw an accurate clinical picture. The following generalizations are significant:I.Body Type and Facies. Normal physical habitus was the rule in our group. In several cases the growth and development have been reported to be retarded; British authors1in particular have commented upon the moon face and blotched skin which seem to characterize the patient with pulmonary stenosis....Bibliography1.
