Abstract Background Despite therapeutic hypothermia (TH) and neonatal intensive care, 45–50% of children affected by moderate-to-severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) die or suffer from long-term neurodevelopmental impairment. Additional neuroprotective therapies are sought, besides TH, to further improve the outcome infants. Allopurinol — a xanthine oxidase inhibitor reduced production oxygen radicals subsequent brain damage in pre-clinical preliminary human studies cerebral ischemia...
Abstract Appendicitis is the most common cause of acute abdominal pain requiring surgical intervention in children, but it very rare infants and neonates. Nonspecific clinical features low index suspicion make its diagnosis management particularly challenging, which may result high chances complications such as perforation peritonitis, thus increasing morbidity mortality. We present case a female late preterm newborn with bloody stools bilious gastric aspirates on second day life. After 24 h...

Retinoic acid is a derivative of vitamin A. embryopathy an association malformations caused by the teratogenic effect retinoic acid, drug used for treatment cystic acne. Isotretinoin also known as 13-cis-retinoic acid. The risk after exposure to oral isotretinoin has been evaluated be around 20%. Affected infants may present craniofacial, central nervous system, cardiac, and thymus abnormalities. There increased spontaneous abortions premature delivery. have effects on child behavior in...
Swyer syndrome is a condition in which individuals with one X chromosome and Y each cell have female appearance. They generally external genitalia, normal uterus Fallopian tubes, but no functional gonads. Its prevalence about 1 30,000 births. Mutations the SRY gene been identified 15-20% of cases. The authors present clinical case fetus, who was first child young, healthy, unrelated parents, increased nuchal translucency trimester ultrasonography combined risk for Down 1/20. Prenatal...
Abstract Infections of the central nervous system (CNS) in neonates with very low birth weight (VLBW) may have major clinical consequences due to their immunocompromised status. Bacillus cereus is a rare pathogen that can cause serious infection these patients and associated high mortality rate. We report case an extremely preterm neonate who developed severe CNS caused by B. progressive neurological deterioration despite broad spectrum antibiotic treatment. She died at age 16 months. In...
Introduction: Late-preterm infants are physiologically and metabolically immature have important risk of morbidity mortality. Aim: To analyze the incidence late prematurity its associated mortality at a level III hospital between 2011 2013. Methods: This was descriptive retrospective study born 34 + 0/7 36 6/7 weeks’ gestation Medical records were reviewed. Results: In 3-year period there 8,458 births witch 513 (6.1%) late-preterm infants. Of these, 99/513 (19.3%) had gestation, 145/513...

Tratar-se-á uma abordagem paralela narrativas, cada com sua proposta aproximação didática pedagógica.
Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM) is a very rare congenital vascular malformation. Also known as the “median prosencephalic arteriovenous fistula”, VGAM subtype dural fistula. It believed that development occurs between weeks 6 and 11 embryo development. Prenatal diagnosis based on fetal ultrasound, second third trimesters. Despite prenatal diagnosis, this associated with high morbidity mortality. We report case 38-year-old primigravida referred at 32 gestational age to our...

The “floppy infant” is a well-recognized entity characterized by generalized hypotonia presenting at birth or in early life. Hypotonia represents diagnostic challenge because it may be the presentation sign of numerous diseases, as central peripheral nervous system abnormalities, myopathies, genetic disorders, endocrinopathies, metabolic diseases and acute/chronic illness. Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) complex neurodevelopmental disorder that results from an abnormality chromosome 15....
The most common cause of neonatal skull fracture is trauma from instruments used during an assisted birth. In the literature, there are limited reports depressed fractures (DSF) in absence birth trauma. diagnosis based on clinical and radiological findings. We present case a female neonate, born full-term after eutocic delivery. pregnancy was unremarkable. There no history or At birth, congenital depression right parietal region noted. Head computed tomography revealed fracture, without...
When evaluating a newborn with peculiar phenotype it is mandatory to perform chromosomal studies. In this case report, the genetic study revealed novel de novo translocation involving chromosome 7 and 14, thus establishing following karyotype: as 45,XX,der (7)t(7;14)(q36.3;q11.2),-14dn.ish 7q36.3(VIJyRM2185 enh).mpla 7qsubtel(P036-E1,P070-B2)x3,14q11.2(P036-E1,P070-B2)x1.
Decrease tone, floppiness or hypotonia, may be focal generalized with numerous causes. A two month toddler cervical hypotonia was brought to our Paediatric Consultation. At three weeks of age she admitted another hospital by afebrile seizures. Metabolic test and creatine phosphokinase measurements were both normal. Magnetic Resonance Imaging the spine revealed an epidural hematoma extending from sixth tenth dorsal vertebrae. laminotomy carried out neurological improvement ocorred. In view...
Adams-Oliver syndrome was first described in 1945 as a multiple congenital malformations association including aplasia cutis congenita and terminal transverse limb defects, along with cardiovascular central nervous system anomalies. We report the case of boy, prenatally diagnosed malformation feet right hand. At birth, skull observed, at midline frontal, parietal occipital region, meningeal exposition. He presented abnormal hand hypoplastic fingers also exhibiting marmorata telangiectatica....
