Among 85 children (< 5 years) operated on for congenital heart disease, we found 15 with structural changes of the thymus consisting of epithelial ducts and cysts. Nine of the children had Down's syndrome. In only two of these did we find epithelial abnormalities. In conclusion, these changes were not more frequent in children with Down's syndrome than in other patients with congenital heart disease.
在85名接受先天性心脏病手术的5岁以下儿童中,我们发现15名儿童的胸腺存在由上皮导管和囊肿组成的结构变化。其中9名儿童患有唐氏综合征。在这些儿童中,仅2名发现上皮异常。总之,唐氏综合征患儿的这些变化并不比其他先天性心脏病患儿更常见。
