Shone complex

What it is

Shone complex is a rare congenital cardiac malformation characterized by a complex of four obstructive lesions of the left heart: supravalvular mitral membrane, parachute mitral valve, muscular or membranous subvalvular aortic stenosis and coarctation of aorta. Clinical manifestations include heart murmur, shortness of breath and increased load intolerance, left ventricular hypertrophy and dilatation of the left atrium. Partial forms, involving only two or three out of the four specific anomalies, are also described and occasionally other cardiovascular anomalies (e.g. bicuspid aortic valve, patent ductus arteriosus, ventricular septal defect) may be associated.

Malformation syndrome

Prevalence figures describe populations, not individuals, and are often estimates from a single study. Where the figure is an incidence or a birth prevalence, it says so.

ICD-10 codes

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.
