Demographic, Clinical and Echocardiographic Characteristics of Children with Chest Wall Deformities Göğüs Duvarı Deformitesi Olan Çocukların Demografik, Klinik ve Ekokardiyografik Özellikleri

Year 2017, Volume: 15 Issue: 2, 34 - 37, 08.08.2017

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: To determine the
demographic, clinical and echocardiographic characteristics of children with
chest wall deformities.


METHODS: The patients diagnosed with chest wall deformities were investigated
retrospectively in the pediatric cardiology unit over a period of three years.
The study enrolled 205 children under the age of 18 years diagnosed with chest
wall deformities.


RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 7.6 ± 4.5 years with a median of 8
years. One hundred and sixty four (80 %) patients with chest wall deformities
were found to have normal echocardiography results. Incidental
echocardiographic diagnoses included 10 (4.87%) atrial septal defects, 8
(3.90%) mitral valve prolapses, 7 (3.41%) mild mitral regurgitations, 5 (2.44%)
bicuspid aortic valve without aortic valve stenoses, 4 (1.95%) ventricular
septal defects, 2 (0.98%) mild aortic regurgitations, 2 (0.98%) dextrocardia, 2
(0.98%) coarctations of the aorta, and  1
(0.49%) complex cardiac defect (pulmonary atresia and VSD). Compression in the
right heart was evaluated by echocardiography in 15 patients (7.3%).


DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Because chest wall deformities are associated with
congenital heart defects in children and may cause compression in the right
heart, evaluation by echocardiography can ensure an optimal management of the
defects.

Göğüs Duvarı Deformitesi Olan Çocukların Demografik, Klinik ve Ekokardiyografik Özellikleri

Year 2017, Volume: 15 Issue: 2, 34 - 37, 08.08.2017

Abstract

GİRİŞ ve AMAÇ: Göğüs duvarı deformitesi
olan çocukların demografik, klinik ve ekokardiyografik özelliklerinin
değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı.


YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: Çocuk kardiyoloji ünitesinde üç yıl süreyle göğüs duvarı
deformitesi tanısı alan hastalar retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi.


BULGULAR: Ortanca yaşı 8 olan hastaların ortalama yaşı 7.6 ± 4.5 idi. Göğüs
duvarı deformitesi olan yüz altmış dört (% 80) hastanın ekokardiyografik
değerlendirmesi normaldi. Ekokardiyografik tanıları 10 (% 4.87) atriyal septal
defekt, 8 (% 3.90) mitral kapak prolapsusu, 7 (% 3.41) hafif mitral
yetersizliği, 5 (% 2.44) darlık olmayan biküspit aort kapağı, 4 (% 1.95)
ventriküler septal defekt, 2 (% 0.98) hafif aort kapak yetersizliği, 2 (% 0.98)
dekstrokardi, 2 (% 0.98) aort koarktasyonu ve 1 (% 0.49) kompleks kalp defekti
(pulmoner atrezi ve ventriküler septal defekt) idi. Ekokardiyografi ile
değerlendirilen sağ kalbe bası bulgusu 15 (% 7.3) hastada saptandı.


TARTIŞMA ve SONUÇ: Göğüs duvarı deformitelerinin doğuştan kalp hastalıkları ile
ilişkili olması ve kalbe bası bulgusu oluşturabilmeleri sebebiyle
ekokardiyografi ile değerlendirilmesi defektlerin en uygun şekilde
yönetilmesini sağlayacaktır.
