Abstract

Constrictive pericarditis represents a rare cause of protein-losing enteropathy in children. Reported is an 11-year-old girl with protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) as the principal manifestations of constrictive pericarditis. After total pericardiectomy, symptoms and signs of PLE disappeared. Doppler echocardiography including tissue Doppler imaging is a useful noninvasive initial diagnostic tool for differential diagnosis of diastolic heart failure.

소아에서 교착성 심낭염은 매우 드문 질환으로 이에 의하여 단백 소실성 장병증이 동반되는 경우는 더욱 드물다. 저자들은 교착성 심낭염의 주요 증상의 하나로 단백 소실성 장병증을 보인 여아 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
