The echocardiographic manifestations of pulmonic valvular endocarditis in a patient with underlying heart disease consisting of a ventricular septal defect and infundibular stenosis are reported. The abnormal shaggy echoes observed on the pulmonic valve were confirmed to be vegetations based on surgical and pathologic findings. This was further proven by the disappearance of the shaggy echoes after surgical excision of the vegetations. We conclude that echocardiograms can detect the presence and disappearance of pulmonic valvular vegetations, which may be of aid in the diagnosis of pulmonic valvular endocarditis.
报告了一名患有室间隔缺损和漏斗部狭窄等基础心脏病患者的肺动脉瓣心内膜炎的超声心动图表现。根据手术和病理结果，证实肺动脉瓣上观察到的异常粗糙回声为赘生物。赘生物手术切除后粗糙回声消失进一步证明了这一点。我们得出结论，超声心动图可以检测肺动脉瓣赘生物的存在和消失，这可能有助于肺动脉瓣心内膜炎的诊断。
