Hepatopulmonary syndrome is a triad that includes: hepatic dysfunction, intrapulmonary vascular dilatation and abnormal arterial oxygenation. The incidence of intrapulmonary vascular dilatations, in adults with end-stage liver disease, has been reported to be 13% to 47%, however the incidence in children is unclear and the cases in Korean children have never been reported. The hepatopulmonary syndrome may occur as a... |

Purpose : Kawasaki disease(KD) is known as one of the most important causes of acquired heart
disease in children. But the incidence of acquired heart disease can be reduced by early diagnosis
and treatment with large amounts of intravenous γ-globulin(IVGG). For early diagnosis and treatment
of atypical KD, we analyzed and compared the clinical features, laboratory findings and coronary
lesions in patients with typical... |

Congenital adrenal hperplasia is inherited disorder of adrenal steroidogenesis. 21-hydroxylase deficiency is the most commone enzymatic defect and is divided into classic and late-onset or nonclassic forms. Both classic and non-classic 21-hydroxylase deficiencies are inherited in a recessive manner as allelic variants. But it is rare that happened in twin infants.
Chief complaints of affected twins in our case were ambiguous... |
