Hepatopulmonary syndrome is a triad that includes: hepatic dysfunction, intrapulmonary vascular dilatation and abnormal arterial oxygenation. The incidence of intrapulmonary vascular dilatations, in adults with end-stage liver disease, has been reported to be 13% to 47%, however the incidence in children is unclear and the cases in Korean children have never been reported. The hepatopulmonary syndrome may occur as a...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(11):1583-1588.   Published online November 15, 1999
Marfan syndrome is infrequently diagnosed early in infancy. The morphologic characteristics and prognosis in infantile Marfan syndrome may be quite different from those in older patients. Characteristic cardiac findings in early life include mitral valve prolapse, valvular regurgitation, and aortic root dilation. Morbidity and mortality may be high for infants diagnosed with Marfan syndrome. Cardiac surgery for cardiovascular complication in...

Man Chul Ha, Hee Ju Park, Ki Whan Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(7):922-935.   Published online July 15, 1995
Purpose : Septic shock due to gram negative bacterial infection is characterized by vasodil-ation, hypotension, and myocardial depression due to the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In spite of extensive studies, the mechanisms for the vascular effects of endotoxemia are not clear. Recently, it has been proposed that nitric oxide (NO) synthesized from L-arginine by nitric oxide synthase contributes to the...

Both classic and non-classic 21-hydroxylase deficiencies are inherited in a recessive manner as allelic variants. But it is rare that happened in twin infants. Chief complaints of affected twins in our case were ambiguous...
