Blood-filled cysts of the heart valves are frequently reported at postpartum autopsies of infants. They are seen as round nodules mostly in the paediatric age group in infants less than 2 months of age and disappear spontaneously within 6 months of life. We report a unique case of an 11-month-old girl who presented at a tertiary healthcare hospital in 2022 with a blood-filled cyst on the posterior leaflet of the pulmonary valve that was successfully treated. This case report highlights the characteristics and course of a paediatric patient with blood-filled cysts. Further studies are yet needed to better understand the diagnostic approaches to blood-filled cysts as well as treatment modalities to fill the gap in clinical settings.
心脏瓣膜的血囊肿在婴儿产后尸检中经常被报道。这些囊肿通常呈圆形结节状,主要见于儿科年龄组的 2 个月以下婴儿,可在生命的 6 个月内自发消失。我们报告了一个独特的病例,一名 11 个月大的女孩于 2022 年在一家三级保健医院就诊,其肺动脉瓣后叶有一个血囊肿,经成功治疗。本病例报告强调了一例小儿血囊肿患者的特征和病程。还需要进一步的研究来更好地了解血囊肿的诊断方法以及治疗方式,以填补临床实践中的空白。
