The accuracy of ultrasound guided saline enema in intussusception reduction is high. Delay in presentation decreases success of non-operative treatment. Delayed enema reduction is important therapeutic option for intussusceptions. Surgical treatment is indicated in cases of complications.
Thoracoschisis is a rare condition. A female newborn presented with right-sided thoracoschisis, associated with diaphragmatic hernia and protrusion of an accessory liver lobe through the chest wall defect along with deformity of the right forearm and hand duplication. Diagnosed as part of the limb-body wall complex (LBWC), management included resection of the exteriorized liver lobe followed by right hemidiaphragm and thoracic wall reconstruction.
The aim: The aim of the study was to determine if there is any influence of prenatal detection on postnatal correction of the fetal pyeloureteral segment stenosis. Materials and Methods: The study included 77 patients who were prenatally diagnosed with one of the urinary tract anomalies. Results: The Apgar (Ap) score mean value in seven patients where the anomaly was detected before the 30 th week of pregnancy was 9.14 ± 0.37, while the Ap score mean value for eight patients after the 30 th week of pregnancy was 7.87 ± 0.64. By testing these values, the authors have established that there was a significantly high difference for t = 4.572 and p = 0.001. Discussion: It is necessary for research to be carried with the objective to find the most simple and efficient methods of diagnosing and treating the obstruction of the pyeloureteral segment.
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.
