Abstract EN
A Gerbode defect is a very rare congenital anomaly which presents as a direct or an indirect type.
We report a 4 month old Nigerian child who presented with poor feeding and failure to thrive and whose echocardiography confirmed an indirect Gerbode with a direct left ventricle to right atrial shunt due to adherent leaflets of the tricuspid valve.
This was confirmed by surgery done outside the country.
