Introduction: The
management of congenital heart diseases in countries with limited technical
facilities poses real problems to practitioners. Yet, a good medical follow- up permits to improve
these children¡¯s life quality before any eventual surgery. Our study aims at examining the
evolutionary and prognostic aspects of these congenital heart diseases in order
to understand their evolution in our context. Materials and Methods: Our work
is a continuation of a prospective, transversal and descriptive survey concerning
all the children with congenital heart diseases in hospitalization or in
consultation led from January 1st 2012 to December 31st 2012 in the Charles De
Gaulle Center Pediatric Teaching Hospital (CDG-PTH) in Ouagadougou. Results: In
2012, we kept under observation 101 cases of congenital heart diseases
representing 69.18% of the 146 cases of heart diseases with an impact of 0.79%
of the 12,838
patients who were admitted at CDG-PTH. The interventricular septal defect
occupied the first place of all malformative heart diseases with 43.56% of
cases. The average age of patients at the moment of the diagnosis was 17 months
old with extremes ranging from two (2) days old to fifteen (15) years old. The sex-ratio was 1.06. Throughout the follow-up
of the children until the end of the six months¡¯ survey, it was possible for us
to meet again 52 patients, we had no longer been in touch
with 22 patients and 27 were dead. At the moment of the diagnosis, surgical
treatment was recommended for 63.37% of the patients (64 cases) and only 7.81%
(5 cases) were operated. The complicated cases were: Eisenmenger syndrome (6
cases representing 5.94%). We recorded a rate of 26.73% of death. Conclusion:
Congenital heart diseases are relatively common at CDG-PTH. The high rate of
mortality noticed is due to the lack of heart surgery and catheterism units in
our country.
