We retrospectively studied the possibility that direct trauma to the biceps muscle might be the cause of poor elbow flexion and supination in 18 consecutive children with birth lesions of the brachial plexus who had delayed or impaired biceps recovery despite neurophysiological evidence of reinnervation. All had good shoulder and hand function at three months of age. Eight recovered a strong bi...

Large for gestational age birth weight is associated with adverse short- and long-term outcomes. Infants born large are at increased risk neonatal intensive care unit admission, respiratory distress, metabolic abnormalities including hypoglycemia, trauma, even stillbirth or death. The many of these complications increases higher weights. Individuals also appear to be subsequent overweight/obesi...

Nineteen had major epilepsy, 2 petitmal and one each had focal motor and myoclonic attacks. The high frequency of epilepsy may be due to consanguinity, central nervous system, infections and bir...

Arteriovenous malformation of both the maxilla and mandible in a pediatric patient is a very rare phenomenon that carries with it a high mortality rate. Arteriovenous malformations, sometimes known as simple vascular tumors, can be present from birth or acquired over time due to trauma, surgery, or any kind of vascular manipulation of an area of the body.

Adrenal hemorrhage is quiet uncommon in neonates with reported incidence of 0.2%-0.55% [1]. In neonates, adrenal glands are large in size and have abundant vascular supply, so more prone to hemorrhage. Clinical manifestations may vary from relatively benign as anemia, flank mass, discoloration of scrotum, neonatal jaundice to life threatening addisonian crisis depending upon the extent of hemor...

Congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle (PCC) is a rare affection, that can be diagnosed at birth and represent a disturbance of union of the ossification centers. It's more common in girls and in the right side. This study objectives to proceed a revision about the subject, that was searched in online database of LILACS and MEDLINE. We found 56 articles till present data. Besides be a bit in...

Lacerations are common after vaginal birth. Trauma can occur on the cervix, vagina, and vulva, including the labial, periclitoral, and periurethral regions, and the perineum. Most of these lacerations do not result in adverse functional outcomes. Severe perineal lacerations, extending into or through the anal sphincter complex, although less frequent, are more commonly associated with increased...

Most brachial plexus lesions are traction injuries sustained during birth, but in adolescents and older people they are usually caused by traffic accidents or following a fall in the home. A minority are the result of penetrating injury after civilian assault or trauma encountered during wartime. Birth palsy cases (obstetric brachial plexus palsy) and the remaining cases (traumatic briachial pl...

Neonatal adrenal hemorrhage is uncommon. It is present in 0,2% of newborns. Ten percent of the cases occur bilaterally. It can be associated with birth trauma, large birth weight, or neonatal course complicated by hypoxia and asphyxia, hypotension, or coagulopathy. Scrotal hematoma is an extremely rare manifestation of NAH. Most patients present scrotal swelling with bluish discolouration. Scro...
