Research Article

Vivian Praveen I, Sahana Devad

Abstract

Complete atrio-ventricular block (CAVB) presenting in-utero, as widely known, is secondary to neonatal lupus unless proved otherwise. We hereby report a neonate with CAVB associated with heart defects presenting in-utero, without any evidence of neonatal lupus. Hence, we emphasize the association of heart defects in CAVB as the leading factor in diagnosing the etiology.
