Abstract
We present an 18mo old male patient with a clinical view of recurrent apnea episodes and severe aspiration pneumonias. The first apnea episode, complicated with pneumothorax occurred on the second day after birth. As the respiratory failure increased, the patient was transferred to university hospital (UH). Various investigations didn’t show any pathological changes. The condition resolved without treatment. Repeated apnea episodes with signs of aspiration pneumonias started from 3 months of age. Multifold treatment and investigations in PICU were introduced: long-term ventilation, various pediatric specialists’ consultations and screening for different conditions. First signs of pulmonary hypertension (PH) were registered then: clinical view changeable, episodic treatment applications. Not enough data supporting heart pathology predominance, as condition improved observing pulmonary function boost. GERD for recurrent aspirations was suspected and gastrofundoplication at the age of 5 month was performed. From that time the child in outpatient department of a district clinic was followed, no specific management was given. He was admitted to UH approximately after one year already due to complaints of physical load intolerance, growth retardation, increased swelling, perioral cyanosis, and secondary erythrocytosis in complete blood count. On admission: severe clinical signs of cardiopulmonary insufficiency, right heart parts’ overload on ECG; right heart parts’ dilatation and hypertrophy, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), specific PH features on cardiac Echo. Thoracic CT: radiological signs of PDA, PH and interstitial pneumonia were found. The patient to a cardiac surgery center transferred: PDA operative closure performed and pulmonary biopsy done. Biopsy: nonspecific interstitial pneumonia, plexogenic pulmonary arteriopathy of I degree (re Heath-Edwards). Anti DNA levels in blood serum severely increased. Diag[...].
