| Popis: | At the children's hospital of Michigan a collection has been made of roentgenograms of the chest of infants and children dying from congenital cardiovascular malformations, on whom a careful postmortem examination has been performed. In reviewing groups of these cases in an effort to find more accurate criteria for antemortem diagnosis, a high incidence of atelectasis and emphysema in the lungs was observed in the group with interatrial septal defects. Our purpose here is to study this observation in detail and to test its validity by examining other comparable groups of cardiovascular abnormalities for similar manifestations. Material The material consists of 7 cases of interatrial septal defect, 10 cases of combined interatrial and interventricular septal defects, 9 cases of interventricular septal defect, and a control group of 18 cases of transposition of the great vessels. The septal defects are listed below, indicating the various types encountered and the number of each. Table I gives the relative ... |
