Abstract

Aim: In our study the purpose is to look over clinical characteristics of children with mitral valve prolapse MVP with the current literature concepts Material and Method: One hundred thirteen cases admitted to Kocaeli University Faculty of Medicine Department of Pediatric Cardiology between April 2005 and March 2009 were evaluated retrospectively regarding their complaints on admission physical examination electrocardiography ECG telecardiography Holter ECG and echocardiography findings Mitral valve prolapse was defined as superior displacement of the mitral leaflets more than 2 mm into the left atrium during the systole Results: The causes in 113 patients with MVP were; Marfan syndrome in six Noonan syndrome in two mucopolysaccaridosis in six and romatizmal carditis in nine patients The remaining were accepted as primary MVP The age of these subjects 59 girls and 31 boys; M F: 1 9 ranged between 2 17 5 years with the mean of 10 2±5 6 years The most frequent causes of referring the children to cardiologist were; cardiac murmur 44 chest pain 25 and feeling of cardiac palpitations 21 Fourty of 90 patients 44 4 were asymptomatic In 20 of patients BMI percentile was lt;5 Eleven percent of patients had thoracic skeletal anomalies A murmur±mid systolic click was detected in 58 In 23 3 routine ECG showed T wave abnormalities Mitral regurgitation was established on echocardiography in 81 1 of patients Familial inheritance of MVP was found only in 3 6 Conclusions: Our results indicate that MVP is not an uncommon disease and it is more common in adolescent girls with asthenic built Mitral valve prolapse should be kept in mind and echocardiography should be performed in the patients with persistant chest pain palpitation and fatigue even if there is not any murmur or click on oscultation Turk Arch Ped 2009; 44: 57 61 Key words: Adolescent children echocardiography mitral valve prolapse

Çocuklarda mitral kapak prolapsusu: 113 olgunun klinik özellikleri Orijinal Araştırma

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada mitral kapak prolapsusu MKP tanısı alan 113 çocuk hasta geriye dönük olarak incelenmiş ve hastalığın klinik özellikleri ayrıntılı olarak değerlendirilerek literatür bilgileri ışında sözkonusu hastalığın gözden geçirilmesi amaçlanmıştır Gereç ve Yöntem: Nisan 2005 Mart 2009 tarihleri arasında Kocaeli Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Çocuk Kardiyoloji Polikliniği’ne başvuran hastalardan MKP tanısı alanlar geriye dönük olarak incelendi Toplam 113 adet MKP tanılı hasta kaydı saptandı Mitrak kapak prolapsusu tanısı için ölçüt olarak; M mode ekokardiyografik incelemede sistolde mitral kapağın 2 mm ve üzerinde sol atriyuma bombeleşmesi kullanıldı Olguların yakınma fizik inceleme elektrokardiyografi EKG telekardiyografi ekokardiyografi etiolojik değerlendirmeleri ve yapıldıysa ritm Holter incelemelerine hastane kayıt dosyalarından ulaşıldı Bulgular: Yüzonüç olgunun etiolojik değerlendirmesinde altı olguda Marfan sendromu iki olguda Noonan sendromu altı olguda mukopolisakkaridoz ve dokuz olguda geçirilmiş akut romatizmal ateş saptandı Geri kalan 90 birincil MKP’li olgunun ortalama tanı yaşı 10 2±5 6 yaş 2 17 5 yaş E:K oranı 1:1 9 59 kız 31 erkek idi Bu olguların en sık başvuru nedenleri üfürüm duyulması 44 göğüs ağrısı 25 ve çarpıntı 21 olarak sıralanıyordu Olguların 44’ü yakınmasızdı Fizik muayenede olguların 20’sinde vücut kitle indeksi persantili 5’in altındaydı Göğüs iskelet bozuklukları 11’inde vardı Olguların 58’inde muayenede üfürüm midsistolik klik duyuldu Yirmibir olguda 23 3 ise EKG de T dalga değişiklikleri saptandı Ekokardiyografik incelemede olguların 81 1’ inde mitral yetersizliğin MKP’ye eşlik ettiği izlendi Aile öykülerinde olguların 3 6’sının birinci derece akrabalarında MKP öyküsü vardı Çıkarımlar: Mitrak kapak prolapsusu ergenlik çağındaki astenik yapılı kız çocuklarında daha sık görülebilen bir kapak hastalığıdır Israr eden göğüs ağrısı çarpıntı ve çabuk yorulma gibi yakınmalar varsa muayenede klik ve üfürüm duyulmasa bile MKP akılda tutulmalı ve ekokardiyografik inceleme yapılmalıdır Türk Ped Arş 2009; 44: 57 61 Anahtar kelimeler: Çocuklar ekokardiyografi ergen mitral kapak prolapsusu
