The case is reported of a young woman with the Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type VI) who presented with rapidly progressive dyspnoea due to mitral stenosis. Mitral valve replacement was performed and the appearance of the valve was typical of mucopolysaccharide infiltration. Dyspnoea in patients with the Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome may be due primarily to cardiac valve involvement, and in this setting, valve surgery is safe and effective.
报告了一例患有马罗托-拉米综合征(黏多糖贮积症VI型)的年轻女性病例,该患者因二尖瓣狭窄出现快速进展性呼吸困难。进行了二尖瓣置换术,瓣膜外观具有黏多糖浸润的典型特征。马罗托-拉米综合征患者的呼吸困难可能主要归因于心脏瓣膜受累,在此情况下,瓣膜手术是安全有效的。
