BackgroundPectus anomalies constitute 95% of chest anomalies. Pectus carinatum (PC) and excavatum (PE) are often asymptomatic in childhood. However, symptoms and signs such as chest pain, dyspnea, and mitral valve prolapse (MVP) can be seen in pectus anomalies. Demographic characteristics and accompanying cardiac signs in children with pectus deformity were investigated.MethodsIn this study, the clinical findings for children with pectus deformity, and the incidence of MVP and other concomitant heart diseases detected in echocardiographic examinations were evaluated.ResultsEighty‐two children with PE, 27 with PC, and 107 healthy children were included in this study. In the echocardiographic examination of PE, PC patients, and healthy children, MVP was detected with frequencies of 25%, 33%, and 2% respectively.ConclusionsThe study showed that pectus anomalies were associated with an increased incidence of MVP. All patients with pectus deformity should therefore undergo a screening echocardiogram in adolescence to assess for the presence of MVP.

Introduction: Chest pain (CP) is a common reason for pediatric emergency department presentation. The possibility of heart originated pain frightens the family. There is no pathology in most of the cases. Here, we aimed to evaluate the etiological causes of children and adolescents who admitted to the pediatric emergency service with complaint of CP. Materials and Methods: Two hundred ninety eight cases aged between 8 and 18 years who admitted to the emergency service with GA complaints between February 2018 and 2019 were included in the study. Demographic characteristics, physical examinations, laboratory findings and diagnoses of the patients were analyzed retrospectively. Results: The most common causes of CP were determined as idiopathic (50.3%), musculoskeletal system (24.1%) and psychogenic (10.2%). Most of the patients were over 12 years old (n=169, 58.7%) and female (n=155, 53.8%). There was no significant difference in terms of age and gender (p=0.06, p=0.07).The cardiac causes was found to be 4.5% of the all causes. The most common cardiac causes were mitral valve prolapse and mitral insufficiency. Psychogenic causes were higher in females, and psychogenic causes were anxiety, panic attack and depression, respectively. Conclusion: Most of CP in children is due to non-cardiac causes. Although the most common cause of GA is idiopathic, the incidence of psychogenic causes in CP etiology is gradually increasing in adolescents. As a result of detailed history, physical examination and laboratory tests, families should be informed and felt comforted about the diagnosis of the patients.

Olguların çoğunda herhangi bir patoloji saptanmamaktadır. Çalışmamızda çocuk acil servisine başvuran çocuk ve adölesanların GA nedenlerini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Şubat 2018-2019 tarihleri arasında GA şikayeti ile acil servise başvuran 8-18 yaş arası 298 olgu çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların demografik özellikleri, fizik muayeneleri, laboratuvar bulguları ve tanıları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bulgular: GA'nın en sık nedenleri idiyopatik (%50,3), kas-iskelet sistemi (%24,1) ve psikojenik (%10,2) olarak belirlendi.

“…Mitral regurgitation with or without MVP, was graded as mild, mild-moderate, moderate-severe on echocardiography. If the jet is very close to the valve and is not visible in each systole, it was considered mild, if it appears in each systole and covers < 1/3 of the left atrium, it was considered as mild-moderate, and if it covers 2/3 of the left atrium in each systole, it was considered as moderate-severe [12,14]. In addition, concomitant heart diseases were noted.…”
