Splenic state in surviving patients with visceral heterotaxy.
AIM To identify patients with visceral heterotaxy who are at risk from fulminant sepsis. METHODS We studied 38 patients, 37 having undergone abdominal ultrasound, all 38 having examination of blood films to establish presence of Howell-Jolly bodies, and all 38 documented to have had pneumococcal vaccination and prophylaxis with penicillin. We checked whether the parents were aware of the sple...
متن کاملAtrial structure in the presence of visceral heterotaxy.
THE STRUCTURE OF THE HEART IN THE SETTING of so-called visceral heterotaxy remains a potentially controversial subject. Although the existence of an isomeric arrangement of the lungs and bronchial tree in patients with "splenic syndromes" was long since established, there are still acknowledged experts who deny that the heart itself shows any evidence of isomerism. The study published in this i...
متن کاملConsiderations for Fontan Individualization in Patients with Isomerism (Heterotaxy)
Fontan palliation has been used as the final stage in functionally univentricular palpation for several years. The Fontan has undergone several iterations, having begun as an atriopulmonary connection and then evolving into the extracardiac conduit. Innovations in computer modeling and flow simulation has now allowed for studies to be conducted to characterize flow within the Fontan conduit and...
متن کاملAntenatal diagnosis of left atrial isomerism and heterotaxy syndrome in fetus with Meckel-Gruber syndrome.
We aimed to present a fetus with Meckel-Gruber syndrome (MKS) who had left atrial isomerism, heterotaxy syndrome and complete heart block. A 26-year-old healthy female was referred to our clinic in the 23rd week of her pregnancy. The fetus had multiple systemic anomalies including fetal heart. Fetal echocardiography revealed a horizontal liver, left-sided stomach and vena cava interruption with...
