His father denies any past medical or surgical history, but does note that the child’s day care recently sent a note home asking about several episodes, usually after the child does not get what he wants, when he “breathes funny” and sits in a corner with his knees under his chin for a few minutes. The day-care staffers think this “self-imposed time-out” is a good thing, but they worry about the breathing. One teacher even though he once looked blue, but decided that it was probably because of the finger paints he had been using. On examination, you identify a right ventricular impulse, a systolic thrill along the left sternal border, and a harsh systolic murmur (loudest at the left sternal border but radiating through the lung fields).

On examination, the child is afebrile and doesn't appear ill, but there are few palpable suboccipital and posterior auricular lymph nodes. What is the most likely cause of this patient's condition?
