초록

목 적 : 늘어지는 증상을 주소로 신생아 및 소아 중환자실에 입원한 영아들의 임상적, 신경학적, 전기생리학적 소견 및 유전적 진단 결과를 통한 분석을 통해 늘어지는 영아 증후군의 진단적 분류 및 진단 방법에 대한 고찰을 하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 1993년도부터 2005년까지 13년간 서울대학교 병원 어린이병원 신생아 중환자실 및 소아 중환자실에 늘어지는 증상을 주된 주소로 입원한 영아들을 대상으로 하였다. 후향적 의무기록조사를 통해 임상 소견 및 검사 소견들을 조사하였고 최종 진단명을 분류하였다. 결 과 : 늘어지는 증상을 주소로 내원한 영아들은 21명이었다. 최종 진단명은 중추성 기원이 7명(33.3%), 말초성 기원이 11명(52.4%), 나머지 3명은(14.3%) 두 그룹 중 어느 그룹으로도 분류되지 못하였다. 중추성 기원은 저산소-허혈성 뇌증이 3명으로 가장 많았고, 그 외에 Prader-Willi 증후군 2명, 염색체 이상 1명, 일과성 저긴장증 1명이 있었다. 말초성 기원은 myotubular 근병증이 4명으로 가장 많았고, SMA 1형이 3명, 선천성 근긴장성 이영양증 2명, 선천성 근이영양증 1명, 그 외 분류되지 않은 운동신경질환 1명이 있었다. 가족력이 있었던 경우는 말초성 그룹에서만 3명이 있었고, 신경학적 검진 상 근력은 중추성 그룹에서 평균 Grade 3 이상이었고 건반사도 활발하게 나타난 경우가 많아 다른 그룹의 환자들과 차이를 보였다. 검사상의 소견은 근전도 검사에서 말초성 그룹이 66%의 민감도를 보였고 근생검은 말초성 그룹에서 진단적이었다. 중추성 그룹에서 뇌 영상 검사가 진단적이었고 진단율이 높지는 않았지만 Prader-Willi FISH 나 염색체 검사를 통해 진단이 되었던 경우가 있었다. 그외의 분자 유전학적 검사로 확진 가능한 말초성 그룹의 환자들이 있었다. 입원 기간 및 기관 삽관 기간은 말초성 그룹에서 현저하게 길었고, 추적 관찰 시 사망 및 심한 발달 지체의 비율도 말초성 그룹에서 높게 나타났다. 결 론 : 본 연구의 늘어지는 영아들의 임상상을 바탕으로 진단적 분류를 시행하고 각 진단 분류에 유용한 검사를 순서대로 진행시킨다면 효과적인 진단이 이루어질 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to make a diagnostic classification and discuss a diagnostic strategy of floppy infants by investigating clinical, neurological, electrophysiological, and genetic analysis of infants admitted to intensive care units with the complaint of hypotonia. Methods : A retrospective study was performed from Jan. 1993 to Dec. 2005 in neonatal and pediatric intensive care units of Seoul National University Children's Hospital. Clinical features and all tests related to hypotonia were investigated. Results : There were 21 cases of floppy infants admitted to intensive care units. Final diagnosis was classified as centra (7 cases[33.3 percent]), peripheral (11 cases [52.4 percent]), and unspecified (3 cases [14.3 percent]). Among the central group, three patients were diagnosed as hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, two patients as Prader-Willi syndrome, one patient as chromosomal disorder, and one patient as transient hypotonia. Among the peripheral group, four patients were diagnosed as myotubular myopathy, three patients as SMA type 1, two patients as congenital myotonic dystrophy, one patient as congenital muscular dystrophy, and one as unspecified motor-neuron disease. Motor power was above grade 3 on average, and deep tendon reflex was brisk in the central group. Among investigations, electromyography showed 66 percent sensitivity in the peripheral group, and muscle biopsy was all diagnostic in the peripheral group. Brain image was diagnostic in the central group, and Prader-Willi FISH or karyotyping was helpful in diagnosis in central group. Morbidity and mortality was more severe in the peripheral group Conclusion : Classification of diagnosis by clinical characteristics in this study, and application of investigations step by step, may provide an effective diagnostic strategy.
