Mulibrey (scle-er-ain-e) Nanism syndrome is an extremely rare genetic disorder with multiorgan involvement. Constrictive pericarditis and diastolic dysfunction are the most common causes of mortality. We present a case of a patient with Mulibrey nanism syndrome who underwent pericardiectomy at 12 years old and was able to live 44 years more with relatively stable and asymptomatic diastolic congestive heart failure (CHF). This case highlights the importance of early recognition and treatment of constrictive pericarditis in these patients.
多发性弹力纤维瘤(骨-皮肤-眼)矮小综合征是一种极为罕见的多器官受累的遗传性疾病。缩窄性心包炎和舒张功能障碍是导致死亡的最常见原因。我们报告了 1 例多发性弹力纤维瘤矮小综合征患者,该患者于 12 岁时接受了心包切除术,此后又相对稳定无症状地生存了 44 年,患有舒张性充血性心力衰竭(CHF)。该病例强调了早期识别和治疗这些患者缩窄性心包炎的重要性。
