Vallecular cyst should be included in the differential diagnosis of stridor in newborn infants. Respiratory and feeding difficulties in these patients can be dramatically improved after appropriate surgical removal of the cyst.
Poisoning caused by ingesting insecticides containing permethrin, xylene, and surfactant manifests primarily gastrointestinal tract symptoms and signs. The involvement of the central nervous system and lungs were less common, but clinically more significant. The relative contributions of the 20% permethrin, 70% xylene, and 10% surfactant to these toxic manifestations, however, is uncharacterized.
PRUV is a common vascular anomaly that is easy to be overlooked. Reconstruction of the portal system in the affected fetuses using 3D ultrasound facilitated the identification of the DV. If the DV is present, and other anomalies are excluded, the fetus with PRUV has a good outcome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
