Outline

Case presentation: Cough, Hypoxia, and Down Syndrome

Differential Diagnosis Multi-system complications of patients with

Trisomy 21 Treatment and Monitoring

Chief Complaint

9 month old female with Down Syndrome referred to pulmonary clinic for initial evaluation because of cough and persistent oxygen requirement

History of Present Illness

Daily cough for months - day and night No increased work of breathing Snoring Gags with jejunal feeds

Treated with RanitidineSevere oral aversion, tastes by mouth

Past medical/surgical history Trisomy 21 Born at 36 weeks in Colorado Esophageal atresia without TEF

GT placment DOL 1Gastric pull-through at 4 months

On and off oxygen Ventilated x 1 week after surgery Discharged at 5 months on ¼ lpm O2 via nasal

cannula

PMH/PSH

PDA ligation at 5 months of age Recent echo revealed – “normal function,

small left to right ASD, mild TR” Monthly esophageal dilations – tolerated

well

Meds at visit

Ranitidine Spironolactone/hydrochlorothiazide ¼ lpm oxygen

No inhaled medicines No steroids

Review of Systems

No fevers Adequate growth No hemoptysis No vomiting No steatorrhea Normal thyroid No hematuria Sitting with support

Family and Social History

No asthma, allergies, or lung disease in the family

Lives with mom, “adopted grandparents” in Denver Parents are from Senegal No known TB exposures No pets No smokers

Physical Exam Vitals HR 136 | RR 28 | Ht 65 cm (43%) | Wt 7.5 kg

General: happy baby, + drooling HEENT: Down’s facies, small nares, +rhinorrhea Chest: Easy work of breathing, clear to auscultation,

prolonged expiratory phase CVS: RRR, normal S1 and S2, no murmur Abd: Soft, non-tender, no hepatosplenomegaly Ext: No clubbing Neuro: Decreased truncal tone

What should we do?

Differential Diagnosis – cough, hypoxia Reflux / aspiration Pulmonary edema Airway anomaly / poor airway clearance Asthma Interstitial lung disease Pneumonia/infection

Follow-up via phone

New symptomsRhinorrhea Increased cough, respiratory rateSleeping moreRequiring ½ - 1 lpm O2

Intervention5 days of oral steroids

Follow-up

Outpatient echocardiogram scheduled Improved for 2 weeks, then symptoms

returned Treated with 5 more days oral steroids by her

PCP Symptoms do not resolve – present to ED Further history – taking liquids by mouth for 6

weeks as instructed by therapy

Physical Exam in ED

Vitals HR 180 | RR 62 | SaO2 94% 3 lpm General: Infant in moderate respiratory distress HEENT: Down’s facies, +rhinorrhea Chest: Subcostal retractions, tachypneic,

coarse symmetric breath sounds CVS: Tachycardic, prominent S2, 2/6 systolic

flow murmur at LLSB Abd: Soft, non-tender, Liver down 3 cm

Pulmonary Hypertension Causes?

Pulmonary Hypertension Causes of secondary PAH

Cardiac/Vascular anomaly Chronic lung disease

Trisomy 21 Aspiration / reflux Overcirculation from PDA (repaired at 5 months)

Obstructive sleep apnea Thromboembolic disease Collagen vascular disease Thyroid disease HIV

Chest CT

Chest CT - prone

Esophagram

•Thread-like appearance of distal esophagus•Fundus of stomach superior to the diaphragm•No normal peristalsis – movement of feeds only with gravity

Swallow study•Deep laryngeal penetration with thin liquids. •No aspiration with pureeds.

Discussion

Open lung biopsy?
