While syndromic forms are well-documented, idiopathic IHH without dysmorphic features remains underrecognized. Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), a common cyanotic congenital heart defect, and brain abscesses are known complications in cyanotic heart disease, but their co-occurrence with IHH is exceedingly rare. We report a 3-year-old boy presenting with fever, irritability, and limb asymmetry. Clinical examination revealed right-sided hemihyperplasia, cyanosis, and clubbing. Echocardiography confirmed TOF. Neuroimaging identified a left frontoparietal brain abscess. Syndromic causes of hemihyperplasia were excluded based on clinical features. The child responded well to intravenous antibiotics and supportive care. Tumor surveillance was initiated, and cardiac surgical planning was underway. This case highlights a rare triad of IHH, TOF, and brain abscess, not previously reported in the literature. It underscores the importance of thorough phenotypic assessment, tumor surveillance, and multidisciplinary management in complex pediatric presentations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/apc.apc_230_25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,15]],"date-time":"2026-04-15T07:00:09Z","timestamp":1776236409000},"page":"76-78","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Isolated hemihypertrophy in a child with tetralogy of Fallot and brain abscess: A rare co-occurrence"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Vyas Kumar","family":"Rathaur","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, AIIMS, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Monica","family":"Jassal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, VCSGGIMS&R, Srinagar, Uttarakhand, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tripti","family":"Srivastava","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, VCSGGIMS&R, Srinagar, Uttarakhand, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruchika","family":"Bhatt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, VCSGGIMS&R, Srinagar, Uttarakhand, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20260420","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"609","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02759927","article-title":"Hemihyperplasia syndromes","volume":"73","author":"Dalal","year":"2006","journal-title":"Indian J Pediatr"},{"key":"R2-20260420","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"505","DOI":"10.1097\/MOP.0b013e3283558995","article-title":"Overgrowth syndromes","volume":"24","author":"Neylon","year":"2012","journal-title":"Curr Opin Pediatr"},{"key":"R3-20260420","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"220","DOI":"10.1097\/GIM.0b013e31819436cf","article-title":"Diagnostic criteria and tumor screening for individuals with isolated hemihyperplasia","volume":"11","author":"Clericuzio","year":"2009","journal-title":"Genet Med"},{"key":"R4-20260420","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"850","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11030850","article-title":"Syndromic and non-syndromic patients with repaired tetralogy of fallot: Does it affect the long-term outcome?","volume":"11","author":"Calcagni","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Clin Med"},{"key":"R5-20260420","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"287","DOI":"10.1007\/s10024-005-1154-9","article-title":"Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome: Historical, clinicopathological, and etiopathogenetic perspectives","volume":"8","author":"Cohen","year":"2005","journal-title":"Pediatr Dev Pathol"},{"key":"R6-20260420","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e00954","DOI":"10.1016\/j.idcr.2020.e00954","article-title":"Brain abscess: A rare complication in a child with tetralogy of Fallot","volume":"22","author":"Lakhani","year":"2020","journal-title":"IDCases"},{"key":"R7-20260420","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"dev200419","DOI":"10.1242\/dev.200419","article-title":"Embryonic vascular establishment requires protein C receptor-expressing endothelial progenitors","volume":"149","author":"Cissy Yu","year":"2022","journal-title":"Development"},{"key":"R8-20260420","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"325","DOI":"10.1038\/s41422-022-00629-7","article-title":"Vein to artery: The first arteriogenesis in the mammalian embryo","volume":"32","author":"Rhee","year":"2022","journal-title":"Cell Res"}],"container-title":["Annals of Pediatric Cardiology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/apc.apc_230_25","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,13]],"date-time":"2026-08-13T18:55:52Z","timestamp":1786647352000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/apc.apc_230_25"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,1]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/apc.apc_230_25","relation":{},"ISSN":["0974-2069","0974-5149"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0974-2069","type":"print"},{"value":"0974-5149","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,1]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2025-08-21","name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2025-12-30","name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
