[Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy and congenital cyanotic heart defects].
The association of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy and chronic pulmonary disease is well known. The authors report two cases of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy and tetralogy of Fallot in childhood. Early surgical treatment of the tetralogy of Fallot accounts for the present scarceness of this association. The clinical and radiological features of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy are described, as well as the regressive evolution after the cure of the cyanotic heart disease.
