We present an unusual case of in utero adrenal hemorrhage associated with fetal distress. This case was further complicated by transient neonatal hypertension that resolved spontaneously and a nonfunctioning ipsilateral kidney. We discuss the possible underlying pathophysiology.
We describe an unexplained case of umbilical cord segmental hemorrhage linked with meconium-stained amniotic fluid. A severely asphyxiated infant was delivered at term by Caesarean section. There were poor prognostic signs on fetal cardiotocography with rupture of membranes with meconium-stained
BACKGROUND
The World Health Organization (WHO) reports estimate that 85% of newborn deaths are due to infections, prematurity and fetal distress. These conditions are risk factors for upper GI bleeding (UGIB) in sick neonates. UGIB is associated with poor neonatal outcomes such as prolonged
Serial ultrasound scans and conventional and diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed on 16 neonates who presented with seizures. The Apgar scores were normal and subsequently no metabolic or infective cause could be found. The aim of the study was to evaluate the extent to
A newborn infant was transferred to our hospital because of gastro-intestinal hemorrhage, starting a few hours after birth. Because of fetal distress a cesarean section had been necessary. The clinical examination as well as the results of the laboratory tests revealed nothing abnormal. In an upper
Hemoperitoneum during pregnancy resulting from spontaneous rupture of adnexal torsion is a rare cause of fetal and maternal death. Presenting symptoms include severe abdominal pain, followed rapidly by maternal shock and fetal distress. It is hard to localize the adnexae in advanced pregnancy. Here,
Although effects of stress on the stomach have been extensively investigated in children and adults, our knowledge about effects of fetal distress (FD) on the fetal stomach is quite limited. Therefore, an experimental study was planned to evaluate the effects of FD on fetal gastric physiology and
Massive fetomaternal haemorrhage (FMH) occurs in 0.12 to 0.5% of pregnancies. It is most often spontaneous and involves uncomplicated near-term pregnancies. It causes fetal anaemia, with or without fetal distress and hydrops fetalis. To our knowledge only one paper has reported a neurological
Massive feto-maternal haemorrhage is a cause of significant fetal morbidity and mortality, but is often overlooked because screening for fetal erythrocytes in the maternal circulation has not been a routine procedure in stillbirths, fetal distress or neonatal anaemia; there are few recognized
OBJECTIVE
To determine the incidence, size, and outcome of spontaneous massive fetomaternal transplacental hemorrhage in Manitoba.
METHODS
The Kleihauer maternal-fetal screening records at the Rh Laboratory were reviewed for the period October 1970 to December 1992. Rh Laboratory correspondence for
Spontaneous fetomaternal haemorrhage is an important, but usually overlooked, cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity. Although fetomaternal bleeding in the third trimester of pregnancy is common it is normally less than 0.1 ml. A fetal macrotransfusion (greater than 5 ml) is uncommon, but is
We describe a rare case of Mallory-Weiss tear with massive hematemesis at 38 weeks' gestation. A 35-year-old woman presented with epigastralgia followed by massive hematemesis. An emergency endoscopy indicated active pulsatile bleeding at the esophagocardial junction. Although an emergency
