Cerebral edema due to perinatal asphyxia in 2 full-term newborns was detected and monitored with a combination of real time ultrasound, computed tomography, and serial pulsatility-index determinations of the cerebral arteries using Doppler ultrasound. In both babies, real time ultrasound showed
Cerebral blood flow velocity (C.B.F.V.) was estimated in 49 newborn babies by calculating the pulsatility-index (P.I.) of the anterior cerebral arteries (A.C.A.) using Doppler ultrasound. We studied the changes in P.I. of the A.C.A. in relation to the clinical condition in three full-term babies
Previous studies from our laboratory have demonstrated penetration of Evan's blue dye into the brain in profound fetal asphyxia, suggesting that vasogenic brain edema (BE) might be an immediate contributing factor in asphyxial brain injury. We modified the 125I-labeled albumin method of Pappius and
We observed a sudden respiratory arrest in four term newborn infants after a clinically symptom-free period. There were no cardiac, pulmonary or metabolic changes responsible for these events. Signs of cerebral dysfunction existed (muscular hypotonia, jitterness, seizures). Cranial computerized
Nineteen cases of nonimmunologic hydrops fetalis occurring during a nine-year period were reviewed. The pregnancies were complicated by hydramnios (78%) and preterm delivery (84%). Hydramnios appears to be the most useful indicator of the pregnancy at risk; its occurrence should prompt
Full-term infants with early-stage brain injuries from asphyxia were examined with two-dimensional ultrasound and color Doppler to assess the use of ultrasound in evaluating early brain injuries after neonatal asphyxia. The sonographic features of ultrasound and color Doppler were compared to those
Twenty-two cases of nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) seen over a three-year period are described. Eight cases were associated with major congenital anomalies, seven cases with minor anomalies or other disease entities, and seven idiopathic cases. The overall mortality rate was 50%, greatest in those
Pulmonary edema is an important cause of respiratory distress in newborn infants. It occurs with severe perinatal asphyxia, heart failure, hyaline membrane disease, persistent patency of the ductus arteriosus, pneumonitis from group B beta-hemolytic streptococcus, and chronic lung disease
A 32-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus was found to have a fetus with heart block and fetal ascites at 23 weeks gestation. Treatment with high-dose corticosteroids ameliorated the early signs of heart failure, although the fetal heart rate gradually fell from 48 beats/min to 42
To study the clinical features, etiology and prognosis of neonates with nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF).A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data and outcomes of 23 neonates with NIHF.Of the 23 neonates with Magnetic resonance imaging with diffusion- and T2-weighted imaging and 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to investigate the relationship between development of brain edema and alterations of the brain energy metabolism after hypoxia-ischemia (HI) brain injury in 7-d-old rats. The results
Prenatal diagnosis of generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI) (OMIM #208000) is difficult and rare. There are various known gene mutations in ENPP1 (ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1) locus 6q22-q23. We present a case of suspected intrauterine diagnosis at 29 weeks of
Striatal and cortical neurons containing nitric oxide synthase (NOS) were studied in adult rats subjected to different periods of perinatal asphyxia (PA) using immunohistochemistry at both light microscopy (LM) and electron microscopy (EM). Another group was subjected to PA + hypothermia to study
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics of neonates with hydrops fetalis to improve recognition of the disease.
METHODS
The clinical data of 10 neonates with hydrops fetalis were retrospectively studied. Prenatal characteristics, causes, clinical features,
We have made significant advances toward understanding birth asphyxia and its effects upon neurologic development in the newborn and infant. The fetus is well adapted to compensate for moderate alterations in oxygen delivery. However, near lethal hypoxemia, prolonged exposure, and survival result in
