Abstract

We experienced tracheobronchial stenosis caused by malrotation of the heart in a 3-year-old girl. Malrotation of the heart is induced by the decreased right lung volume, which was the result of right lung hypoplasia and herniation of the left thoracic cavity. We corrected the right lung volume and location of the heart to treat tracheobronchial stenosis.

본원에서는 우측 흉곽내 폐용적이 감소하면서 심장이 우측으로 이상 회전을 하게 되어 기관기관지의 협착이 유발된 3세 여환아를 우측 폐의 확장을 유도하여 심장의 이상 회전을 교정해 줌으로써 기관기관지 협착을 치료하였기에 이에 보고하는 바이다.
