Abstract
Atrial flatter yenidoğan ve bebeklerde nadir görülen bir aritmidir. Anne karnında, perinatal dönemde ve bebeklik süresince ortaya çıkabilir. Atriyal flatter, yenidoğanlarda sıklıkla asemptomatiktir. Atriyal flatterli yenidoğan hastaların % 20’si kalp yetmezliği tablosunda başvururken, hastaların çoğu asemptomatik taşikardi ile başvurmaktadırlar. Hastaları sinüs ritmine döndürmek için ilaç tedavisi, senkronize kardiyoversiyon, kalp pili gibi tedavi yöntemleri kullanılmaktadır. Çoğu olgu dijitalizasyon veya elektriksel kardiyoversiyon ile kolaylıkla sinüs ritmine döndürülebilir. Elektriksel kardiyoversiyon yenidoğanlardaki persistan atrial flatter için iyi bir tedavi yöntemidir. Elektriksel kardiyoversiyona cevap veren atriyal flatterli bir yenidoğan olgusunu sunduk.

Abstract
Atrial flutter is an uncommon arrhythmia in newborns and infants. It may manifest in the intrauterine, perinatal periods or during infancy. Newborns with atrial flutter are frequently asymptomatic, and in most patients it begins as asymptomatic tachycardia, although in up to 20% it may present with heart failure. Drugs, synchronized cardioversion or pacemakers are used for the conversion to sinus rhythm in these patients. In most cases, it is easily converted to sinus rhythm by electrical cardioversion or digitalization. Electrical cardioversion is a good treatment modality for neonates with sustained atrial flutter. We have presented a neonate with atrial flutter who responded to electrical cardioversion

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
