| Abstract |
|
A clinical observation was made on 12 cases of the hypoplastic right heart syndrome who were
admitted to the department of Pediatrics, Seoul National University Hospital from January 1978 to
May 1986. The -results were as follows;
1) The ratio of female to male was 1:1 and, according to the anatomic classification by Khoury, 6
cases were in type 1, 4 cases in type II and 2 cases in type III.
2) Congenital heart disease was detected at birth in 6 cases, 5 cases within 1 month and 1 case at
5 year of age. 3) Presenting symptoms and signs were cyanosis (100%), dyspnea (92%)，heart murmur (92%),
anoxic spell (42%) and heart failure (17%).
4) Simple chest X-ray showed decreased pulmonary vascularity in 10 cases (83%) and cardiomegaly
in 2 cases (17%). Electrocardiogram showed right axis deviation in 6 cases (50%), normal axis
deviation in 4 cases {33%) and left axis deviation in 2 cases (17%). Right atrial enlargement was
observed in 7 cases (58%). 5) Hemoglobin level was distributed from 12.8 gm/dl to 22.5 gm/dl and the mean value was 18.5 gm/dl. 6) The mean values of “a” wave in right atrium and left atrium was 12.8 mmHg, 9.4 mmHg
respectively. And the pressure difference between right and left atrium was over 2 mmHg in 10 cases
(83%). The mean values of end-diastolic pressure in right and left ventricle were 12 mmHg, 7.6 mmHg respectively. 7) Pulmonary valve was atretic in 7 cases, stenotic in 5 cases, and tricuspid valve was atretic in 3
cases, insufficient or stenotic in 9 cases. Associated anomalies were as follows: ASD in 10 cases, PDA
in 6 cases, VSD in 2 cases and PFO in 1 case.
8) Surgical intervention was done in 6 cases (50%). Three cases were operated with shunt procedure,
2 cases with pulmonary valvotomy and 1 case with Fontan operation. There were 4 deaths among 11 cases.
