Congenital tricuspid valve malformations are known to occur, but tricuspid valve malformations associated with twins are rarely reported. We report this case from the point of view of a medical history, an auxiliary examination and a genetic pathogenesis to provide a reference for our peers.
We report a rare case of congenital heart disease in monozygotic twins of Hui nationality in Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, they are normal conception. Twin 1 had Ebstein's anomaly, and received surgical treatment and recovered satisfactorily. Twin 2 had only partial tricuspid septal prolapse, and pulmonary hypertension occurred during follow-up.
It is necessary to carry out individualized diagnosis and treatment for twins and follow-up observation by echocardiography for a long time. Choosing the right time for cardiac surgery is of great significance to the treatment of the disease.
已知先天性三尖瓣畸形会发生,但与双胞胎相关的三尖瓣畸形很少报道。我们从病史、辅助检查和遗传发病机制的角度报告这例病例,为同行提供参考。
我们报告了一例罕见的云南-贵州高原回族单卵双胞胎先天性心脏病病例,均为正常受孕。一胎 1 患有Ebstein 畸形,接受了手术治疗,恢复良好。二胎 2 仅存在部分三尖瓣隔瓣脱垂,随访中出现肺动脉高压。
对双胞胎进行个体化诊断和治疗,并进行长期超声心动图随访观察非常必要。选择合适的心脏手术时机对疾病的治疗具有重要意义。
