Abstract:
Objective To analyze the diagnostic feature, treatment and prognosis of patients with Cantrell syndrome. Methods Clinical manifestation, diagnosis, operation and follow-up data of 5 patients with Cantrell syndrome were summarized in this retrospective analysis. Results The age of the 5 patients was 7 days-76 years, definite diagnosis was made in 3 cases and 2 cases presented feature of incomplete Cantrell syndrome. Three patients with full Cantrell syndrome were correctly diagnosed before operation and confirmed by operation. One patient with incomplete Cantrell syndrome (two-vessel stenosis ) received bypass surgery. Another asymptomatic patient with incomplete Cantrell syndrome ( apical diverticulum of the left ventricle) does not need operation and is under observation. During follow-up, 1 patient died at 60months after operation and the remaining 4 patients are alive and well. Conclusions With the development of modern imaging technology, it becomes easy to make correct diagnose Cantrell syndrome before operation.Prognosis is fine post timely operation and related intervention.
