Abstract

Achondroplasia is the most common skeletal dysplasia in children. Achondroplasic patients often have respiratory problems associated with upper respiratory tract obstruction and craniofacial dysmorphology. Chronic hypoxemia in these patients can result in pulmonary hypertension. In this report an achondroplasic child with severe day-time pulmonary hypertension is presented.

Özet

Akondroplazi çocuklarda en sık görülen iskelet displazisidir. Akondroplazik hastalarda üst solunum yollarının obstrüksiyonu ve kraniyofasiyal dismorfoloji nedeniyle solunum yolu yakınmaları sık görülmektedir. Bu hastalarda özellikle geceleri gelişen kronik hipoksemi pulmoner hipertansiyona yol açabilmektedir. Bu makalede ciddi gün içinde de devam eden pulmoner hipertansiyon gelişen akondroplazik bir çocuk sunulmuştur.
