Prominent Eustachian valves, with obligate right-to-left shunts, have been reported as a cause of neonatal hypoxemia. This anomaly can present as an obstructive structure that inhibits antegrade flow through the tricuspid valve and furthermore contributes to right-to-left atrial shunting in the presence of a patent foramen ovale or atrial septal defect. This case highlights the evaluation and diagnostic workup for chronic hypoxemia in an adolescent female patient and considerations for percutaneous atrial septal defect closure.
已报道,具有强制性右向左分流的明显咽鼓管瓣是新生儿低氧血症的一个原因。这种异常可表现为一种阻塞结构,抑制三尖瓣的前向血流,并在卵圆孔未闭或房间隔缺损存在的情况下进一步导致右向左心房分流。本病例强调了对青少年女性患者慢性低氧血症的评估和诊断,并考虑了经皮房间隔缺损封堵术。
