This report describes a 14-month-old boy receiving high-dose steroids for hypsarrhythmia and infantile spasms in whom the echocardiographic diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was made. Family studies were negative for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, but positive for mitral valve prolapse. The steroid dosage was progressively decreased and finally discontinued; the echo was normal within 12 months. In infants receiving long-term steroid therapy, echocardiograms should be performed to monitor myocardial structure and function.
本报告描述了一名14个月大的男孩，因高峰失律和婴儿痉挛接受高剂量类固醇治疗，经超声心动图诊断为肥厚型心肌病。家族研究显示肥厚型心肌病为阴性，但二尖瓣脱垂为阳性。类固醇剂量逐渐减少，最终停用；12个月内超声心动图恢复正常。对于接受长期类固醇治疗的婴儿，应进行超声心动图检查以监测心肌结构和功能。
