Abstract

In previous reports, duration of initial ventilation exceeding 1 month almost always predicts non-survival of babies with congenital myotonic dystrophy. However, a baby with this condition survived beyond infancy after 55 days' ventilation. We describe this case in detail, explain why the baby survived and highlight the importance of individualized assessment, in addition to applying general prognostic terms described in the literature.

摘要

在以往的报道中，初始通气时间超过1个月几乎总是预示着先天性肌强直性营养不良患儿无法存活。然而，一名患有这种疾病的婴儿在通气55天后存活至婴儿期以后。我们详细描述了这个病例，解释了该婴儿存活的原因，并强调了个体化评估的重要性，此外还应用了文献中描述的一般预后指标。
