A cianose congénita está frequentemente associada a patologias que diminuem a oxigenação da hemoglobina (Hb) ou sua capacidade para libertar o oxigénio (O2). Descritos 3 casos de cianose neonatal que apresentavam baixa saturação tecidular de O2, com fraca resposta à oxigenoterapia e níveis de MetaHb elevados. A cianose diminuiu gradualmente, concomitantemente com a redução dos níveis de MetaHb, sugestivo da pre...
