Background—The prognosis of patients with saddleback or noncoved type (non–type 1) ST-elevation in Brugada
syndrome is unknown. The purpose of this study was to clarify the long-term prognosis of probands with non–type 1
ECG and those with coved (type 1) Brugada-pattern ECG.
Methods and Results—A total of 330 (123 symptomatic, 207 asymptomatic) probands with a coved or saddleback
ST-elevation 1 mm in leads V1–V3 were divided into 2 ECG groups—type 1 (245 probands) and non–type 1 (85
probands)—and were prospectively followed for 48.715.0 months. The absence of type 1 ECG was confirmed by drug
provocation test and multiple recordings. The ratio of individuals with a family history of sudden cardiac death (14%)
was lower than previous studies. Clinical profiles and outcomes were not notably different between the 2 groups (annual
arrhythmic event rate of probands with ventricular fibrillation; type 1: 10.2%, non–type 1: 10.6%, probands with
syncope; type 1: 0.6%, non–type 1: 1.2%, and asymptomatic probands; type 1: 0.5%, non–type 1: 0%). Family history
of sudden cardiac death at age45 years and coexistence of inferolateral early repolarization with Brugada-pattern ECG were
independent predictors of fatal arrhythmic events (hazard ratio, 3.28; 95% confidence interval, 1.42 to 7.60; P0.005; hazard
ratio, 2.66; 95% confidence interval, 1.06 to 6.71; P0.03, respectively, by multivariate analysis), although spontaneous type
1 ECG and ventricular fibrillation inducibility by electrophysiological study were not reliable parameters.
Conclusions—The long-term prognosis of probands in non–type 1 group was similar to that of type 1 group. Family history
of sudden cardiac death and the presence of early repolarization were predictors of poor outcome in this study, which
included only probands with Brugada-pattern ST-elevation. (Circ Arrhythmia Electrophysiol. 2009;2:495-503.)

Brugada syndrome is a hereditary arrhythmogenic disease
characterized by ST-elevation in the right precordial lead
of standard ECGs and an increased risk of sudden cardiac
death (SCD).1 The prognosis for this condition and the
management approaches have been reported in several multicenter
studies of patients with the coved type 1 ECG.
However, no prospective data have been reported in patients
with saddleback type or noncoved Brugada-pattern STelevation
before, because they were excluded from previous

studies as atypical Brugada patients showing a benign clinical
course. Besides, the data from previous studies are all
conflicting with regard to the prognosis of the typical Bru-

gada syndrome.2–5 This may be caused by cohort studies
that included a significant number of family members
other than probands, in which the prognosis of pedigree
members can be affected by the disease severity of
probands. Furthermore, a selection bias can be present if
the data are analyzed retrospectively. Therefore, we aimed
to investigate the long-term prognosis of probands with
noncoved type ST-elevation in leads V1–V3, prospectively,
and compared it with that of probands with the type 1
ST-elevation.
Methods
Patient Population
A total of 330 individuals with spontaneous ST-elevation were
registered consecutively in this study, namely, “a multicenter study
for risk stratification and management in patients with Brugada
syndrome.” The study was conducted at 26 institutions across Japan
beginning in July 2001. These individuals were prospectively followed
up for more than 12 months to the end of March 2007.
Subjects were enrolled in this study if they met the following
inclusion criteria: (1) proband, (2) J-point (QRS-ST junction) amplitude
of 0.1 mV (1 mm) with either coved or saddle back type
ST-segment elevation in at least 2 of the 3 precordial leads (V1–V3)
on resting standard 12-lead ECG, (3) normal findings on physical
examination, and (4) no abnormality in either right or left ventricular
morphology and/or function demonstrated by chest radiography and
echocardiography. Patients with vasospastic angina and those with
vasovagal syncope were excluded from this study. Patients were not
administered antiarrhythmic drugs and did not have electrolyte
abnormalities at the time of baseline ECG recording and other
examinations.
Classification of Groups
We divided the 330 patients with Brugada-pattern ECG into 3 groups
according to their symptoms: The ventricular fibrillation (VF) group
consisted of 56 probands with aborted sudden death and/or documented
VF, the syncope group consisted of 67 probands with
syncope without documented arrhythmias that was not typical for
vasovagal syncope, and the asymptomatic group consisted of 207
asymptomatic individuals whose ECGs were mainly detected by
individual annual medical checkup or health screening in their place
of employment.
We also divided these patients into 2 groups according to ECG
morphology: The type 1 group consisted of 245 probands with a
spontaneous type 1 ECG or those who developed type 1 ECG with
a drug provocation test. The non–type 1 group consisted of the
remaining 85 probands who never showed type 1 ST-elevation even
with the drug provocation test (Figure 1) and during the follow-up on
standard 12-lead ECGs.
Clinical Data, ECG, and
Electrophysiological Testing
Clinical data including age at the enrollment, sex, family history of
SCD, and the presence of atrial fibrillation were collected for all
patients. The standard ECGs were recorded more than 5 times during
the follow-up period in all patients. ECG recording on higher
intercostals spaces (third and/or second) in leads V1–V3
6 was
encouraged in patients who had cardiac events during the follow-up
period.
A type 1 ECG was defined as a prominent coved ST-segment
elevation displaying J-point wave amplitude or ST-segment elevation
2 mm or 0.2 mV.7,8 ECG patterns with a prominent coved
ST-elevation 2 mm followed by a positive or flat T wave were also
included in type 1 group (Figure 2A through C). A non–type 1 ECG
was defined as one of the following: type 2 ECG,7 type 3 ECG,7 and
ECG displaying coved or saddleback ST-elevation with J-wave
amplitude 1 mm and 2 mm (Figures 1 and 2D through 2G).
The presence of early repolarization in the inferolateral leads9 was
evaluated by baseline 12-lead ECGs at the time of enrollment to
elucidate ECG findings associated with Brugada syndrome. Early
repolarization was defined as an elevation of the J point in at least 2
leads. The amplitude of the J wave or J-point elevation had to be at
least 1 mm above the baseline level, either as QRS slurring or
notching in the inferior lead (II, III, and aVF), lateral (I, aVL, and
V4–V6) lead, or both.9
ECGs were evaluated by 3 independent investigators (S.K., N.A.,
and W.S.) who were unaware of the patients’ other clinical information.
The ECG type or morphology was established by the
evaluation in which at least 2 of the 3 observers were in agreement.
Sodium channel blocker pilsicainide (1 mg/kg body weight at a
rate of 5 to 10 mg/min), disopyramide (1.5 mg/kg, 10 mg/min),
flecainide (2 mg/kg, 10 mg/min), or procainamide (10 mg/kg, 100
mg/min) was administered intravenously in 270 (82%) patients (233,
15, 14, and 8, respectively) to test the conversion to typical coved
ST-elevation.8,10,11
Baseline electrophysiological studies (EPS) were performed in
232 (70%) patients. A maximum of 3 ventricular extrastimuli were
delivered from 2 right ventricular (RV) sites (RV apex and RV
outflow tract) unless VF or polymorphic ventricular tachycardia
(VT) (lasting 10 beats) that terminated spontaneously within 30
seconds, causing syncope, or requiring intervention to be terminated
was elicited at a previous step. Premature beats were started in late
diastole; coupling intervals were then reduced in 10-ms decrements
until refractoriness was reached. Stimulation was performed at twice
the diastolic threshold. Patients with inducible ventricular arrhythmias
lasting less than 10 beats were classified as noninducible. The
indices including age, sex distribution, a family history of SCD at

pilsicainide in the same patient. Saddlebacktype
ST-elevation in leads V1 and V2 was
enhanced after pilsicainide but was not
changed to type 1 ST-elevation. This 46-yearold
male patient with a history of syncope but
with no family history of SCD had inducible VF
by electrophysiological study. He had spontaneous
VF 11 months after enrollment.

less than 45 years of age, and VF/polymorphic VT inducibility were
compared with those reported in previously published studies2,3,5
(Table 1). In addition to these parameters, the presence of atrial
fibrillation, cardiac events at night, and inferolateral early repolarization
were compared between type 1 and non–type 1 groups.
Patient treatment was based on clinical judgment of the participating
hospital. Twenty-eight (8%) probands received antiarrhythmic
drugs (quinidine sulfate 400 mg, bepridil 200 mg, disopyramide
300 mg, aprindine 30 mg, and amiodarone 200 mg/d)
for prevention of atrial fibrillation or VF. Calcium antagonists were
administered in 18 (5%) probands for hypertension. Quinidine and
bepridil were administered only after a documentation of VF during
follow-up. Among the 330 patients, 125 (38%) received an implantable
cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). During follow-up, patients
were considered to have an arrhythmic event if sudden death
occurred or VF was documented.
Statistical Analysis
Data are presented as meanstandard deviation. The Fisher exact
test or the 2 test was used for categorical variables. One-way
ANOVA was used for comparisons of continuous variables among
the different groups. Survival curves were plotted by the Kaplan-
Meier method and analyzed by the log-rank test. Cox proportional
hazards models were used to analyze factors associated with the time
to the first arrhythmic event during follow-up in all probands as well
as in type 1, non–type 1, VF, and non-VF (syncope and asymptomatic)
groups. Variables were included in the multivariate analysis
with the use of a forward stepwise procedure with a criteria of
P0.05 for inclusion and P0.15 for removal from the model. A
probability value of P0.05 was considered statistically significant.
This study was performed under the ethical code approved by the
Health, Labor, and Welfare Ministry of Japan. Written informed
consent was obtained from all individuals.
Results
Clinical Profiles of All Probands
The mean age of the 330 probands was 51.414.8 years
(median, 53 years; range, 4 to 86 years). The majority (315;
95%) of probands were male. A low percentage (14%) of
patients had a family history of SCD occurring before the age
of 45 years. The induction rate of VF/polymorphic VT by
EPS was higher (77/109: 72%, P0.005) in symptomatic
than asymptomatic probands (61/123: 50%) (Table 1).
Comparison of Clinical Characteristics Between
Type 1 and Non–Type 1 Groups
Type 1 ECG was found in 245 probands (VF group: 45,
18%; syncope group: 46, 19%; and asymptomatic group:
154, 63%). Of these 245 probands, 173 (71%) showed type
1 ECG spontaneously and the remaining 72 (29%) showed
characteristic type 1 morphology after class Ic or Ia
antiarrhythmic drug administration. In 85 probands of the
non–type 1 group (VF group: 11, 13%; syncope group: 21,
25%; and asymptomatic group: 53, 62%), non–type 1 ECG
remained during the drug provocation test (type 2: 61,
Figure 2. Presentation of type 1 and non–type

amplitude 2 mm followed by a negative T
wave (A) or a positive/flat T wave (B), and a
coved ST-elevation followed by a smaller J
wave than T wave (C) were defined as type 1
ECG. Coved (D) or saddleback-type
ST-elevation (E) with a J-wave amplitude
2 mm, a saddleback ST-elevation with a
J-wave amplitude 2 mm (F), and a saddleback
ST-elevation displaying bigger J wave
than T wave (G) were defined as non–type 1
ECG.

72%; coved with J-point amplitude 2 mm: 24, 28%) and
the follow-up period. Most of the clinical parameters
except for VF/VT inducibility, namely, age, sex distribution,
the prevalence of atrial fibrillation, the presence of a
family history of SCD, cardiac events at night (8 PM to 8
AM), and early repolarization, were of similar occurrence
between type 1 and non–type 1 groups (Table 2). Only 8%
(7/85) of probands in the non–type 1 group and 11%
(26/245) of those in the type 1 group were associated with
early repolarization in the inferolateral leads.
Follow-Up and Predictors of Outcome
The mean follow-up period for the entire study population
was 48.714.9 months. Follow-up time was similar among
VF (51.915.0 months), syncope (48.514.0 months),
and asymptomatic (47.715.0 months) groups and between
type 1 (48.615.2 months) and non–type 1
(48.914.2 months) groups. Twenty-four patients had
fatal arrhythmic events during follow-up. The frequency of
events in the type 1 group—15 of 45 (33%) in patients with
VF, 1 of 46 (2%) in syncope patients, and 3 of 154 (2%) in
asymptomatic patients— was similar to that in the non–
type 1 group (4/11: 36%, 1/21: 5%, and 0/53: 0%,
respectively, P0.22; Figure 3). In 5 patients who had
events in the non–type 1 group, 2 had shown a type 1
ST-elevation only in the higher (second or third) intercostal
spaces—1 in a follow-up ECG and 1 after drug
provocation test. The observed frequency of arrhythmic
events was significantly highly in patients with early
repolarization in the inferolateral leads (7/33; 21% versus
17/297; 6%, P0.005), although there was no difference in
risk between the 2 groups (type 1: 6/26; 23%, non–type 1:
1/7; 14%, P0.67). One asymptomatic patient with type 1
ECG died suddenly 3 months after enrollment. Six patients
died of nonarrhythmic causes; 3 died of cancer, 1 because
of rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm, 1 because of
pneumonia, and cause of death for 1 patient was unknown.
Seven percent of all patients who entered the study
dropped out, the most frequent reason for drop-out was
inability of follow-up due to patient’s change of address.
Figure 4 shows the Kaplan–Meier analysis of arrhythmic
events in probands with type 1 and non–type 1 ECG.
Probands in the VF group had significantly worse prognosis
than those in the syncope and asymptomatic groups. The

annual rate of arrhythmic events in probands with type 1 ECG
was 10.2% in the VF group, 0.6% in the syncope group, and
0.5% in the asymptomatic group (Figure 4A). The cumulative
rate of arrhythmic events in probands with non–type 1 ECG was
similar to those with type 1 ECG. The annual arrhythmic event
rate was 10.6%, 1.2%, and 0%, respectively (Figure 4B).
By univariate analysis, a family history of SCD was a
predictor for arrhythmic events in the type 1 group (hazard

with precordial Brugada-pattern ECG was another
predictor in the type 1 group (HR, 4.2; 95% CI, 1.6 to 11.2;
P0.003); however, other parameters were not reliable.
Figure 5 shows the Kaplan–Meier curves of arrhythmic
events in the type 1 group during follow-up, depending on
the presence of a family history of SCD (Figure 5A),
inferolateral early repolarization (Figure 5B), a spontaneous
type 1 ST-elevation (Figure 5C), and inducibility of
ventricular arrhythmias by EPS (Figure 5D). Multivariate
analysis in all probands identified that the former 2
parameters were independent risk factors for arrhythmic
events (a family history of SCD: HR, 3.28; 95% CI, 1.42
to 7.60; P0.005; early repolarization: HR, 2.66; 95% CI,
1.06 to 6.71; P0.03, Table 3) as well as a family history
of SCD in analysis of probands without VF (syncope and
asymptomatic groups) (HR, 12.5; 95% CI, 2.0 to 75.0;
P0.005).
Discussion
Main Findings
We present one of the largest series of consecutive patients
with Brugada-pattern ECG. Importantly, in the present study
only probands were included. Also, this study has the longest
follow-up ever reported. The main finding is that probands
who have a non–type 1 ECG, even after challenged with a
sodium channel blocker, do not necessarily have a better
prognosis than patients with spontaneous or drug-induced
type 1 ECG. Patients presenting with aborted cardiac arrest
had a grim prognosis and those presenting with syncope or no
symptoms had an excellent prognosis irrespective of their
ECG pattern (that is, type 1 versus non–type 1). Also, a
family history of sudden death at age 45 years and
coexistence of early repolarization in the inferolateral leads
were predictors of poor outcome. In contrast, VF/VT inducibility
during EPS was not a predictor of outcome.
Comparison With Previous Studies
In this study, the follow-up time was uniform among the 3
groups. The mean follow-up time for the asymptomatic
individuals was the longest (47.715.0 months) compared
with the studies by Brugada et al2 (2729 months), Priori
et al3 (3444 months), and Eckardt et al5 (33.752.2
months). The percentage of female patients (5%) and
patients with a family history of SCD (14%) was significantly
smaller than 2 of these previous reports (5% versus
24% to 28%2,3,5; P0.001, and 14% versus 28% to
54%2,3,5; P0.001), although the percentage (14%) of a
family history of SCD was similar to that of probands
(20%) that Priori et al3 had reported. The values observed
in the present study may reflect the true profile of the
probands of Brugada syndrome in contrast to previous
studies in which a significant number of family members
were also enrolled.
Prognosis of Probands Presenting With Syncope
and Without Symptoms
The prognosis of probands in the syncope and asymptomatic
groups was very good, and the annual rate of arrhythmic
events was 1.2%. In the syncope group, this rate is
far less than reported in previous studies,2–5 although the

rate in the asymptomatic group is similar to that in the
Eckardt registry5 and the rate of around 10% for the VF
group is comparable to the rate reported in the Brugada
registries.2,8 The reason that the patients in the syncope
group showed excellent prognosis is not entirely clear but
may be related to the method of registry. Poor prognosis in
prior studies is possibly related to the retrospective design
of the studies consisting of probands and family members,
2,3,5 in which only severe syncope directly linked to
VF tends to be categorized later as a syncope, despite
difficulty to determine the cause of syncope at the onset.
Even so, we cannot exclude the possibility that some
patients with vasovagal syncope were inevitably included
in the syncope group because not a few patients have
undefined syncope and 30% of Brugada patients are
reported to have both vasovagal syncope and the syncope
due to ventricular arrhythmia.12 Another reason for the
good prognosis is the difference of genetic background.
Brugada syndrome is known to be common in Asian
people, which possibly relates to the higher prevalence of
polymorphism of haplotype B, associated with the cardiac
sodium channel.13,14 The average prognosis of Asian patients
with Brugada syndrome may be better than that of
the white population, because individuals without a critical
genetic defect are easily detected as a Brugada patient in a
routine medical checkup. Further genetic studies are required
to clarify the racial difference of outcome. Nevertheless,
the patients in this study with an aborted sudden
death showed worse prognosis than European people in the
study by Eckardt et al5 and had a similar outcome to those
who underwent ICD implantation.15
Prognosis of Probands With Non–Type 1 ECG
The outcome of probands with non–type 1 ECG was
similar to those with type 1 ECG and the rate of arrhythmic
events in the VF group was considerably higher. Some of
these patients had shown a coved (type 1) ST-elevation
only in the higher (second or third) intercostal spaces
during the drug provocation test or follow-up. Miyamoto et
al16 reported that men with a spontaneous type 1 ECG

recorded only at the higher leads V1 and V2 showed a
prognosis similar to that of men with a type 1 ECG when
using standard leads. In the past, patients with non–type 1
ST-elevation in standard ECG had been excluded from
studies as a benign entity of Brugada syndrome. However,
if patients had a history of aborted sudden death or
agonizing nocturnal dyspnea, non–type 1 Brugada-pattern
ECG should not be disregarded. Careful follow-up including
ECG recording at the higher intercostals spaces and the
implantation of ICD is probably required in such a patient
to prevent SCD.
Clinical Features of Probands With Non–Type
1 ECG
The clinical profiles of probands were very similar between
the non–type 1 group and the type 1 group (Table 2).
Inferolateral early repolarization occurred equally in small
percentage of patients in both groups (8% and 11%, respectively),
which is comparable to the prevalence (12%) of early
repolarization that Letsas et al17 reported in patients with
Brugada syndrome. This means that the patient characteristics
of the non–type 1 group are much closer to Brugada syndrome
than early repolarization syndrome reported by Haı¨ssaguerre
et al,9 in which the VF occurrence rate during
sleeping was low (19%) and VF inducibility by EPS was only
34%. Moreover, they reported that several aspects including
the relapsing VF and the efficacy of isoproterenol and
quinidine,9,18 which were observed in some patients with
early repolarization, were exactly like those of typical Brugada
syndrome. Haı¨ssaguerre et al9 excluded patients with
Brugada syndrome, defined as right bundle-branch block and
ST-segment elevation 0.2mV in leads V1–V3, at the enrollment.
However, considering that they possibly included
patients with non–type 1 ECG as non-Brugada pattern in
their study, some patients with prior VF and early repolarization
might have represented non–type 1 Brugada
patients of high risk.
Predictors of Outcome
It was reported that male sex, a previous episode of
syncope, a spontaneous type 1 ECG, and inducibility of
ventricular arrhythmias by EPS are predictors for poor
outcome.2– 4 Brugada et al demonstrated that inducibility of
ventricular arrhythmias was a reliable marker in patients
with and without VF/SCD,2,4 although Priori et al3 did not
find any significant difference in the analysis of all
patients. A spontaneous type 1 ECG was also indicated as
a reliable marker of poor prognosis by Brugada et al4 in the
analysis of patients without VF/SCD and by Eckardt et al5
in all patients.5 However, we could not find any reliability
in these markers (Figures 3 and 5). Inducibility of ventricular
arrhythmias was not a significant predictor even if it
was evaluated by programmed pacing only from the RV
apex (type 1 group: HR, 1.9 [95% CI, 0.7 to 5.2], P0.18;
all probands: HR, 1.5 [95% CI, 0.6 to 4.1], P0.34, by
univariate analysis).
In contrast, a family history of SCD occurring at age of
45 years is an independent risk factor of a poor prognosis in
probands of any groups irrespective of their ECG type (type
1 or non–type 1) or symptoms (with VF or without VF). This
was probably caused by a smaller proportion of probands
with a family history of SCD as compared with previous
studies2–5 A family history was not found to be a marker in
studies that enrolled many patients with SCD or a family
history of Brugada syndrome. These results indicate that we
should evaluate risks for arrhythmic events cautiously in
studies with a significant number of family members.
Early repolarization pattern in the inferolateral leads was
another indicator of poor prognosis, although Letsas et al17
did not find any association with arrhythmic events in the
data collected from 3 European centers, which also included
30% of patients with a family history of SCD. The reason
for the poor outcome in probands with early repolarization in
this study is not clear. However, it is conceivable that the
combination of precordial Brugada-pattern ST-elevation with
inferolateral early repolarization may represent electric heterogeneity
in extensive regions of ventricles, which can result
in lethal ventricular arrhythmias.
Study Limitations
In this study, premature ventricular electric stimulation
was given until refractoriness was reached. The minimal

coupling interval of extrastimuli was not constant between
participating hospitals and was sometimes shortened to
200 ms to induce ventricular arrhythmias.
We did not show the results of genetic analysis in this
report, although more than half of the patients underwent
genetic screening. Detailed results will be presented in a
future report. So far, no positive relationship between genetic
findings and patient outcomes has been found.3,19
We did not record ECGs at the higher intercostals spaces
systematically except for probands with cardiac events, because
the importance of “high-recording” became apparent in
the course of this study.6 Therefore, some patients of the
non–type 1 group may have shown type 1 ST-elevation at the
higher precordial positions.
Conclusions
This study described the long-term prognosis of probands
with noncoved (non–type 1) Brugada-pattern ECG compared
with type 1 ECG. The annual incidence of fatal arrhythmic
events was similar between the 2 groups, which reached
10.6% in probands with non–type 1 ECG and a prior episode
of VF. A family history of SCD occurring at age of 45 years
and the presence of early repolarization were indicators of
poor outcome although VF inducibility and a spontaneous
type 1 ST-elevation were not reliable indicators in this
prospective study including only probands.

CLINICAL PERSPECTIVE
The prognosis of patients with saddleback or noncoved type (non–type 1) ST-elevation in Brugada syndrome is unknown.
We compared the long-term prognosis of 85 probands with non–type 1 ECG with 245 probands with coved (type 1)
Brugada-pattern ECG prospectively. The absence of type 1 ECG was confirmed by drug provocation test and multiple
recordings. Clinical profiles and outcomes did not differ between the non–type 1 and type 1 groups. The annual rate of fatal
arrhythmic events was very low in asymptomatic probands and those with syncope but was higher in probands with
ventricular fibrillation. A family history of sudden cardiac death at age 45 years and the presence of inferolateral early
repolarization were indicators of poor prognosis, although ventricular fibrillation inducibility and a spontaneous type 1
ST-elevation were not reliable parameters in this prospective study including only probands.

floppy infantまとめ
-先天的に筋緊張が著明に低下し、四肢の運動発達が遅れ、明らかな進行を示さないものをフロッピーインファントという。障害部位によっては、以下のように分かれる。

    ①大脳皮質（精神遅滞，無緊張性両麻痺）
    ②大脳基底核（アテトーゼ型脳性麻痺）
    ③小脳（失調型脳性麻痺）
    ④脊髄（頸髄損傷）
    ⑤脊髄前角細胞（ウェルドニッヒ-ホフマン病）
    ⑥末梢神経（ニューロパチー）
    ⑦神経筋接合部（重症筋無力症）
    ⑧筋（先天性ミオパチー）
    ⑨結合組織（エーラース-ダンロス症候群）

-また、本症は筋力低下の有無によって、麻痺型と非麻痺型に分類される。非麻痺状態のものは①大脳皮質（精神遅滞，無緊張性両麻痺）、②大脳基底核（アテトーゼ型脳性麻痺）、③小脳（失調型脳性麻痺）、⑨結合組織（エーラース-ダンロス症候群）などである。

-遺伝性、腱反射、筋萎縮、知能、血清CK、関節拘縮などで以下のように鑑別診断する。
|麻痺(筋力低下)|&gt;| 	鑑別ポイント |	疾患名|
|あり|&gt;|	舌の萎縮性攣縮、腱反射消失、CK正常、筋電図：神経原性変化→ |	Werdnig-Hoffmann病|
|~|筋生検→ 	|グリコーゲンの蓄積 	|Pompe病|
|~|~|構造異常あり 	|先天性ミオパチー|
|なし|&gt;|中枢神経疾患(21 trisomy、特有の顔貌)→ 	|Down症候群|
|~|全身性疾患→ 	 | |	良性先天性筋緊張低下症|
|~|~|TSH高値 	|クレチン症|
|~|~|15番染色体部分欠失、哺乳障害 |	[[Prader-Willi症候群]]|

小児腹部腫瘤まとめ

-小児の腹部腫瘤をきたす新生物の鑑別

国試レベルで小児の腹部腫瘤で頻出である「神経芽細胞腫」「Wilms腫瘍」「肝芽腫」の3つは、以下のように特徴がある。
|| 	神経芽腫 |	Wilms腫瘍| 	肝芽腫|
|部位| 	正中を越える 	|正中を越えない |	右季肋下|
|性状 	|表面凹凸、硬 |	表面平滑、硬 |	表面凹凸、硬|
|随伴症状| 	眼球突出、骨痛、下肢麻痺、下痢 |	半身肥大、無虹彩 	|なし|
|検査 |	尿中VMA↑、HVA↑、血清NSE↑ |	腎実質腫大、腎杯拡大 	|AFP↑|
|好発転移部位| 	骨、肝、眼窩 |	肺、肝 |	肺|


-鑑別としては、以下のようなポイントがある。

-まず、神経芽細胞腫の2大特徴を以下に記す。

    ①正中線を越える。 ②腹部エックス線写真にて石灰化を呈する。

-この2つの特徴を満たす場合は、神経芽細胞腫を考える。
-他にも、神経芽細胞腫の重要ポイントとは、以下のようなものがある。
--小児の実質臓器に生じる悪性腫瘍の中で頻度は最多。
--腫瘍は交感神経節細胞由来である。原発部位として最多なのは副腎である。
--交感神経によって産生される生理活性物質はカテコラミン(アドレナリン、ノルアドレナリン、ドーパミン)であるため、それらの代謝産物であるVMA、HVAを大量に産生する。よって、尿中VMAを乳児6ヶ月スクリーニングに用いる。
--主な転移先は骨、骨髄、リンパ節、皮膚、肝などである。
--1歳未満の発症例では、自然治癒例がある。


-step01の条件を満たさないものでは、「Wilms腫瘍」「肝芽腫」の鑑別に移る。「肝芽腫」ならば、血清α－fetoprotein(AFP)の上昇が記してあるはずである。


-「Wilms腫瘍」「肝芽腫」の重要なポイントは、以下のようなものがある。

-Wilms腫瘍
--好発年齢は5歳以下
--血尿よりも腹部腫瘤で発見されることが多い。
--腹部腫瘤は正中線を越えず、平面平滑
--無虹彩症などの奇形を合併することがある。
--肺転移しやすい(骨転移は稀)。
--治療薬はアクチノマイシンD

-肝芽腫
--AFP高値
--黄疸を呈することは稀
--血行性に肺に単発性転移(骨転移は稀)。


小児抗癌剤
-ビンクリスチンは結構いろいろなものに使う
-副腎皮質ステロイドは併用することが多い
-その上で…
--アクチノマイシンはWilms腫瘍
--アントラサイクリンはAML
--シクロホスファミドは神経芽細胞腫、悪性リンパ腫、CLLと覚える    </description>

    <description>
      -主要症状は以下の6つである。
--5日以上続く原因不明の発熱（ただし治療により5日未満で解熱した場合も含む）
--両側眼球結膜の充血
--四肢の末端が赤くなり堅く腫れる（手足の硬性浮腫、膜様落屑）
--皮膚の不定型発疹
--口唇が赤く爛れる、いちご舌、口腔咽頭粘膜のびまん性発赤
--有痛性の非化膿性頸部リンパ節腫脹

以上6つの主要症状のうち5つ以上を満たすものを本症と診断するが、5つに満たない非典型例も多い。また主要症状には含まれていないが、BCG接種部位の発赤・痂皮形成、下痢、腹部膨満なども臨床上重要な所見であるが、症状の程度には個人差があり診断は難しい。

-治療は免疫グロブリンとアスピリン。(炎症反応の抑制・血栓形成予防・冠動脈瘤予防)    </description>
