  • Title: [Occlusive adenoids causing cor pulmonale and pectus excavatum in a child (author's transl)].
    Author: Richter I, Martins M.
    Journal: Monatsschr Kinderheilkd; 1981 Mar; 129(3):175-7. PubMed ID: 6112686.
    Abstract:
    In a Child respiration was impaired already during infancy by occlusive adenoids causing pectus excavatum, cardiomegaly with signs of right ventricular and right atrial hypertrophy, hepatomegaly and dystrophy. The child showed psychological injury as well. After adenectomy these symptoms gradually disappeared. The cardiorespiratory syndrome by obstruction of the upper airways demands active surgical therapy since it may lead to right ventricular failure and pulmonary edema.
