Dandy-Walker Malformation (DWM) is a rare congenital anomaly of the posterior cranial fossa. Features DWM include hypoplasia cerebellar vermis, enlargement fossa, and cystic dilatation fourth ventricle. MRI modality to confirm diagnosis. Treatment usually symptomatic required when signs hydrocephalus develop. Rare cases asymptomatic diagnosed incidentally are reported in literature. We report c...

Fetal lung masses are rare findings in prenatal ultrasound scanning in general population, of which congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation is the most commonly diagnosed type. This paper reports a single case of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation detected at our hospital and the subsequent clinical follow-up using ultrasound scanning and fetal magnetic resonance imaging.

The incidence of congenital cardiovascular malformation was studied in 246 children of 166 index patients who had been operated upon for this. Twelve children were affected (4 . 9%). More than half of these had the same malformation as the parent. The incidence of other extracardiac congenital abnormalities did not exceed that recorded in Hungary for the population in general.

Congenital heart defects are the most common malformation, and are the foremost causes of mortality in the first year of life. Among congenital heart defects, conotruncal defects represent about 20% and are severe malformations with significant morbidity. Insulin gene enhancer protein 1 (ISL1) has been considered a candidate gene for conotruncal heart defects based on its embryonic expression p...

OBJECTIVE To review the management and outcome of babies with antenatally diagnosed congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation. DESIGN Retrospective cohort review. SETTING Tertiary neonatal care unit at Queen Mary Hospital and antenatal diagnostic centre at Tsan Yuk Hospital. PATIENTS Consecutive patients with antenatally suspected congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation in their conce...

The characteristic of a mortality study is that the basic event, the death of an individual, is not repetitive. Suppose we wish to assess the congenital malformation as a cause of infant death; how shall we count the malformed child who dies of tuberculosis in his first year of life? The risk of death due to the congenital malformation no longer exists, but neither can he survive the condition ...

Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common malformation of children born with cyanotic heart disease, with an incidence of approximately 10 per cent of congenital heart disease. There can be a wide spectrum as to the severity of the anatomic defects, which include ventricular septal defect, aortic override, right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, and right ventricular hypertrophy. Cyanosis may...
