Interstitial deletion of chromosome 1 (1p21.1p12) in an infant with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, hydrops fetalis, and interrupted aortic arch
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of an infant with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and hydrops fetalis who died from hypoxic respiratory failure. Autopsy revealed type B interrupted aortic arch (IAA). Microarray revealed a female karyotype with deletion of chromosome 1p21.1p12. There may be an association between 1p microdeletion, CDH, and IAA.

Hydrops Fetalis due to Direct Hepatic Compression of the Right Atrium in a Newborn with Right Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
Right sided Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) has been previously associated with venous or lymphatic obstruction of vessels by the herniated liver. We report an unusual case of direct cardiac atrial compression by the liver causing limitation of preload and resultant fetal non-immune hydrops fetalis.

The common clinical features seen were low birth weight, hepatosplenomegaly, anaemia, jaundice, and symmetrical superficial desquamation of the skin affecting palms and soles. The presence of these clinical signs is highly suggestive of early congenital syphilis. Hydrops fetalis without rhesus or ABO isoimmunisation should always arouse the...

متن کاملTreatment of congenital generalized lymphangiectasia with propranolol in a preterm infant.
Generalized lymphangiectasia is a rare congenital disorder characterized by dilated lymphatic vessels with a fatal prognosis, especially in cases with thoracic involvement. We describe the use of propranolol in the therapy of generalized lymphangiectasia in a preterm infant with hydrops fetalis. Propranolol was well tolerated and effective within the first months. It remains to be shown whether...

A significant ratio of late preterm infants receives surfactant therapy (ST) for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and for other neonatal lung diseases characterized by surfactant inactivation or dysfunction. We aimed to investigate the clinical and therapeutic characteristics and outcomes of late preterm infants who received ST in the last 10 years in our neonatal intensive care unit. During...
