We report a case of complete tracheal rings diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) in a 34-year-old woman with history of congenital heart disease who presented with long-standing shortness of breath and chest tightness. CT of the trachea revealed concentric narrowing of the distal trachea, with an "O"-shaped lumen and absence of wall thickening. Virtual endoscopic CT images showed concentric rings at the site of stenosis, consistent with complete tracheal rings, which were confirmed by conventional bronchoscopy. To our knowledge, the CT findings of this condition have not been previously described. CT with 3-dimensional reconstructions has the potential to noninvasively aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with this condition.

Ebstein malformation is a congenital heart disease characterized pathologically by displacement of the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve towards the apex of the right ventricle of the heart. Hypoplasia, dysfunction of the right ventricle and tricuspid regurgitation cause an increased volume load of the right heart and result in the clinical manifestations of chest tightness, shortness of breath and fatigue after activities, palpitation, cyanosis and heart failure. We report a case of Ebstein's anomaly with refractory right heart failure and leg ulcers.

Subaortic stenosis (SAS) is a congenital heart disease, and its association with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is very rare and clinically underappreciated. We report here a case of a 45-year-old female who was admitted to our hospital with chest tightness and shortness of breath. Both transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography revealed asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy and a membrane-like echo below the level of the aortic valve. This patient was diagnosed with membranous SAS with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Screening of her immediate family members revealed that her son also had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The patient chose conservative treatments and has been closely followed-up after discharge.
