Pulmonary Agenesis and Hypoplasia.
In recent years the more frequent use of x-rays has revealed various congenital abnormalities of the lungs which had formerly passed undetected during life, since the clinical signs and symptoms may be minimal. An attempt is made here to elucidate the different pictures which may be seen in varying degrees of underdevelopment of the lungs. For clarity of description the following nomenclature i...
متن کاملPrenatal diagnosis of a giant intracranial teratoma associated with pulmonary hypoplasia.
We present a case in which an intracranial tumour replacing all intracranial contents was diagnosed by sonography at 31 weeks' gestation. The patient was delivered by caesarean section and died shortly after delivery. At necropsy, the tumour was found to be a teratoma with no recognisable normal brain tissue present. Additional findings at necropsy included pulmonary and adrenal hypoplasia. The...
متن کاملPrenatal prediction of pulmonary hypoplasia: clinical, biometric, and Doppler velocity correlates.
OBJECTIVES To determine the value of pulmonary artery Doppler velocimetry relative to fetal biometric indices and clinical correlates in the prenatal prediction of lethal lung hypoplasia (LH) in prolonged (>1 week) oligohydramnios. METHODS Forty-two singleton pregnancies with oligohydramnios associated with premature rupture of membranes ([PROM]; n = 31) or bilateral renal pathology (n = 11) ...
متن کاملPrenatal Diagnosis of Severe Perinatal (Lethal) Hypophosphatasia
HPP is a clinically heterogeneous disease and classified into at least six forms according to severity and age of onset: perinatal (lethal), perinatal (benign), infantile (MIM [Mendelian Inheritance in Man] # 241500), childhood (MIM# 241510), adult (MIM# 146300), and odontohypophosphatasia (Mornet, 2008) (Table 1). All forms of HPP display reduced activity of unfractionated serum ALP and the pr...
متن کاملPrimary congenital pulmonary hypoplasia of a neonate.
Pulmonary hypoplasia is a rare but usually lethal disease. We report a full-term male neonate who presented with respiratory failure immediately after birth. Chest X-ray revealed a small lung volume despite advanced ventilator support. Respiratory failure persisted and this baby died at 40.5 hours of age. The autopsy showed a lung-to-birth weight ratio of 0.69% and a radial alveoli count of 2.9...
