Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(1):99-102.   Published online January 15, 2006
A 3-year-old girl presented with polydipsia, polyuria, hyponatremia, hypertension and congestive heart failure. Her polyuria was unresponsive to water restriction and vasopressin challenge tests, and her blood pressure was not effectively controlled by antihypertensive drugs. Radiologic examinations revealed a Wilms' tumor in the right kidney. Her plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentration were greatly increased. After surgical removal of the...
A Case of Protein-losing Enteropathy in Congestive Heart Failure : Resolution with Prednisolone
Jong-Woon Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(5):587-591.   Published online May 15, 2001
Protein-losing enteropathy can result from primary or secondary intestinal lymphangiectasia. Secondary intestinal lymphangiectasia develops as a result of lymphatic obstruction or elevated lymphatic pressure. Cardiac lesions such as constrictive pericarditis, post-Fontan procedure state, and chronic congestive heart failure increase lymphatic pressure and may cause intestinal lymphangiectasia and protein-losing enteropathy. An 11-year-old girl who underwent corrective surgery for Tetralogy of Fallot...

Sang Woog Lee, Myung Sung Kim, Sang Lak Lee, Tae Chan Kwon, Chin Moo Kang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1993;36(7):982-986.   Published online July 15, 1993
To characterize the sympathetic nervous system response to congestive heart failure in infants and children, plasma norepinephrine levels were measured in 29 patients aged 4 months to 15 years undergoing routine cardiac catheterization at Dong San Hospital, Keimyung University during the period of 4 months from November 1990 to February 1991.

We subsequently experienced an 18 day old female newborn infant who had suffered from dyspnea, cyanosis and congestive heart failure since a few days after birth. She died of progressive...

Anomalous origin of one pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta is a rare congenital malformation. It happens as the result of abnormal development of the 6th aortic arch. Anomalous origin of right pulmnary artery is more frequent than left. It is frequently associated with P.D.A., V.S.D. and T.O.F. In this malformation, congestive heart failure develops in early life and once the...
A Case of Conjoined Twins.
Kyu Gap Hwang, Myung Hyun Lee, Choung Ku Yun
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1983;26(7):696-701.   Published online July 31, 1983
Conjoined twins are rare malformation. It appears with the frequency of 1 in 50,000. Conjoined twins offer excellent model systems for problems concerning organizing phenomenon, symmetry of hcdy plane and teratogenesis. In our hospital, we experienced a case of craniopagus. They were admitted to our hospital for 6 months. At 6month of age, twin 2 died of congestive heart failure in spite of treatment. We...
A Case of Hypereosinophilic Syndrome.
Chang Moo Lee, Chull Kwon Chung, Soon Ok Byun, Ji Sub Oh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1983;26(2):193-197.   Published online February 28, 1983
We experienced a case of Hypereosinophilic syndrome with congestive heart failure in 15 month old girl. The clinical, hematologic and E.C.G. findings were compatible with hype- reosinophilic syndrome. She was treated with oxygen, digoxine, antibiotics and mebendazole. But on 8th day of admission she suddenly died. A brief review of the related literature was made on this subject.
