Abstract

Fallot's Tetralogy is one of the most common cyanotic congenital heart diseases. Most of the patients though die during adulthood (depending upon the severity of pulmonary stenosis) but long term survival has also been recorded in the literature. Though there are various complications of Tetralogy of Fallot; multiple brain abscesses as a sequele of Fallot's Tetralogy leading to neurological manifestations is not frequently encountered in this part of North East. A case of Fallot's Tetralogy presenting with severe neurological deficit due to multiple brain abscesses who was treated conservatively is presented. The patient responded to the conservative management. (.1MedSci 2009;12(1):18-20)
