Changes of Cardiac Rhabdomyoma Before and After Childbirth by Using Ultrasound / 中国医学影像学杂志

ABSTRACT

Purpose To discuss the ultrasonic cardiogram of cardiac rhabdomyoma,and to analyze the change trend of single and multiple rhabdomyoma before and 6 months after childbirth.Materials and Methods Eleven fetuses diagnosed as cardiac rhabdomyoma prenatally from January 2014 to January 2016 were analyzed retrospectively,and the tumor size,number and anatomical location were recorded by ultrasound.The 11 fetuses were divided into single group and multiple group,and both groups were reviewed the changes to tumors during pregnancy and within postnatal 6 months.Results For 11 cases with rhabdomyoma,6 cases were in the multiple group,with tumors growing in 5 cases,and tumors unchanged in 1 case,and 5 cases were in the single group,with all tumors unchanged.The prenatal difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P＜0.05).After six months follow-up of 11 fetuses with cardiac rhabdomyoma,tumor regression occurred in 2 cases of the multiple group,tumors were unchanged in 4 cases,tumor regression occurred in 2 cases of the single group,tumors were unchanged in 3 cases,and there was no significant difference between the fetuses in the two groups within postnatal 6 months (P＞0.05).Conclusion The cardic rhabdomyoma has a tendency to increase in the prenatal period,and the increase may be significant in the multiple group.The rhabdomyoma is relatively stable within 6 months follow-up after birth,and there is a partial regression trend,without significant difference between single and multiple groups.
