Case reportA female baby of a consanguineous parentage, was delivered at 32 weeks with a birth weight of 1.4 kg. Examination showed that the baby had two fused faces with two mouths, two noses, two lateral completely formed eyes and two medially fused eyes
Penoscrotal transposition, where malposition of penis occur in relation to scrotum. It is frequently associated with malformation of genitourinary, cardiovascular or skeletal system. As it is extremely rare no standard treatment protocol exist. We here represent a newborn baby with complete penoscrotal transposition, died 5 hours after birth due to complication of perinatal asphyxia.
Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is congenital absence of skin, most commonly affecting scalp. Etiology is multifactorial like intrauterine infection, teratogens, vascular causes, genetic syndromes etc. We here represent an infant with ACC involving extremities and associated with amniotic band disruption complex. He was treated conservatively and discharged. KEYWORDS: Aplasia cutis congenita, Involvement of extremities, Amniotic band disruption complex.
INTRODUCTION:Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by a localized absence of skin and dermal appendages. It most commonly (84%) presents as a solitary defect of the scalp but may also involve the trunk and extremities. The lesions are non-inflammatory, well demarcated and have variable extent range from 0.5 to 10cm or more. 1,2 The cause is not clear but genetic factors, compromised vasculature to the skin, infection, amniotic band, teratogens, fetus papyraceous and trauma are all implicated. 3,4 Management is conservative and rarely surgical. Here we report a case of aplasia cutis with amniotic band disruption complex.
Caffey's disease is a rare, self limiting condition of infancy. Most commonly mandible, clavicle and ulna are affected leading to inflammation of periosteum and overlying soft tissue. We here present an 1 year 3 month old girl with features of Caffey's disease.J Nepal Paediatr Soc 2015;35(3):312-313
Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) occurs secondary to the cystic adenomatous over-growth of terminal bronchioles, which results in the secondary inhibition of alveolar growth. In most of the cases, respiratory distress is the presenting feature during the neonatal period. In about 90% of patients, recurrent respiratory infections necessitating chest imaging reveal CCAM before the age of two years. We describe here the occurrence of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of right lung in a 12-year-old girl presenting with haemoptysis and hypovolaemic shock. She underwent right middle lobectomy; and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. She has been doing well on follow-up.
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.
