Eight patients are presented who demonstrate many of the pulmonary complications seen in the prune-belly syndrome. The patients are divided into two major groups: Group I includes pulmonary hypoplasia; Group II includes lobar atelectasis and pneumonia. The etiology, pathogenesis, and radiographic features of these complications are discussed. Pulmonary complications become more important as renal dialysis and transplantation spare more of these patients from an early uremic death. Prompt recognition of the type and the extent of pulmonary disease in patients with the prune-belly syndrome may lead to increased survival.
本文报告了8例呈现出许多在梅干腹综合征中可见的肺部并发症的患者。这些患者被分为两大组：第一组包括肺发育不全；第二组包括肺叶不张和肺炎。文中讨论了这些并发症的病因、发病机制及影像学特征。随着肾透析和移植使更多此类患者免于早期死于尿毒症，肺部并发症变得越发重要。及时识别梅干腹综合征患者肺部疾病的类型和程度可能会提高生存率。
