A three and one half-year-old female with Melnick-Needles osteodysplasia is presented. In addition to the characteristic bone roengenograms and obstructive uropathy, the patient had inadequate formation of bone marrow elements and pulmonary arter hypertension.
A 1.7 cm. Björk-Shiley prosthetic valve was successfully inserted into the mitral annulus in a 7-month-old infant weighing 4.5 kilograms. Rapidly progressive pulmonary arteriolar hypertension and heart failure required surgical intervention. Postoperative problems are discussed. This patient's rapid clinical improvement after the operation further indicates that valve replacement is an important therapeutic alternative in carefully selected infants.
