Autoamputation of Congenital Hairy Polyp in Neonate with Stridor and Respiratory Failure
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Hairy polyp of the oronasopharynx is a rare developmental malformation. It is usually seen as a pedunculated tumor in the neonate. It is classified as a dermoid since it is derived from the ectoderm and mesoderm. We describe a neonate with a hairy polyp originating from the right lateral pharyngeal wall causing significant respiratory distress with cyanosis and stridor immediately after birth. Symptoms in the neonate disappeared following autoamputation of the mass. To our knowledge, this is the third case described in literature, with full recovery following autoamputation of a hairy polyp.

متن کاملVein of Galen Aneurysmal Malformation and High-output Cardiac Failure in a Newborn
Background: Vein of Galen aneurysm (VGA) is the most common form of symptomatic cerebrovascular malformation in neonates. It develops in a fetus in the first trimester of pregnancy due to unknown reasons, but it is likely to have a genetic etiology. The prognosis of VGA is usually poor, particularly in newborns with heart failure due to high-flow intracerebral shunt. Surgery and endovascular em...
