A 23-year-old man with a previous ventriculo-atrial shunt for a pinealoma developed a febrile illness and heart murmur. The condition was thought to be caused by subacute bacterial endocarditis. Further investigation, however, revealed a mycotic left pulmonary artery aneurysm, which was treated by means of a left pneumonectomy with cardiopulmonary bypass. Such an aneurysm represents yet another complication of ventriculo-atrial shunting for hydrocephalus.
一名23岁男性,曾因松果体瘤行脑室-心房分流术,现出现发热性疾病和心脏杂音。病情被认为是由亚急性细菌性心内膜炎引起的。然而,进一步检查发现了霉菌性左肺动脉瘤,通过体外循环下行左肺切除术进行治疗。这种动脉瘤是脑积水脑室-心房分流术的又一并发症。
