Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
X-linked Alport syndrome is associated in some families with diffuse leiomyomatosis. We describe herein, the pulmonary complications and outcome of three family members (mother, daughter and son). The three underwent esophagectomy at different age (22 years, three years and 15 months respectively). Their current forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) range from 33% in the mother to 60% in the daughter and 97% in the son. It is suggested that earlier intervention may lead to improved pulmonary function tests. Pediatr. Pulmonol. © 2011 Wiley-Liss, Inc. |
