The straight back syndrome (SBS) is well recognized as "a pseudoheart disease" in this category. Although clinical identification of this syndrome was once thought sufficient to withdraw from any further investigation, many retrospective studies, conducted in the late seventies, pointed to a substantially higher incidence of SBS in patients with mitral valve prolapse syndrome. This association has clinical importance in that mitral prolapse syndrome is linked with serious cardiac events such as sudden death, infective endocarditis, dangerous ventricular arrythmias and congestive heart failure. Patients with SBS or skeletal abnormalities, even asymptomatic, have to be estimated clinically by careful auscultation of cardiac sounds, and chest X-rays, phonocardiograms and echocardiograms are necessary to confirm the latent valval abnormalities. A case of a 18 year-old male patient with SBS who underwent the surgical operation under general anesthesia was reported. The patient was screened by careful examinations to exclude mitral prolapse. The anesthetic and post-operative courses were uneventful. Problems for the management of SBS, including its association with mitral prolapse syndrome, as a dental patient were discussed., application/pdf}, pages = {203--209}, title = {Straight Back Syndromeの麻酔管理}, volume = {20}, year = {1994} }
