Cyan means ‘blue’ and the abnormal bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes is referred to as “cyanosis”. It is a pathologic sign, and not a disease by itself. Underlying diseases that increase the deoxygenated hemoglobin to 5.0 g/dl or more leads to cyanosis. Cyanosis can be best
Congenital diaphragmatic herniation into the pericardial cavity is extremely rare. We report a case associated with an ostium secundum atrial septal defect and normal pulmonary vascular resistance, which resulted in severe episodic cyanosis.
Heterotopic gastrointestinal cysts of the oral cavity are benign lesions usually discovered during infancy. Their pathogenesis is not very clear. They are rare congenital anomalies that result from remnants of foregut-derived epithelium in the head, neck, thorax or abdomen during embryonic
Oral care is frequently suboptimal in children from developing countries, especially those suffering from severe systemic diseases. The aim of the present study was to analyze the oral epidemiological profile of 3-to-5-year-old children with congenital heart disease. Dental and medical records of
Histologically confirmed lipomas were surgically removed from the thoracic or abdominal cavities of six dogs. Three dogs had a large intra-abdominal mass causing severe abdominal distension. Two dogs had a mass extending into the pelvic canal, compressing the colon and causing obstipation. One dog
A newborn presenting with cyanosis at day 9 of life was admitted to the local hospital. Initial local echocardiography confirmed a cardiac issue and the patient was transferred to a tertiary cardiac hospital. Further imaging confirmed a rare presentation of cardiomyopathy with severe right
OBJECTIVE
To define the clinical manifestations of Chikungunya infection in infants.
METHODS
The inclusion criteria was fever (defined as axillary temperature > 99.6 degrees F) with any one of the following features; seizure, loose stools, peripheral cyanosis, skin manifestations or pedal edema in
During a 2 1/2-year period, staged procedures of transventricular closed pulmonary valvotomy followed by balloon valvuloplasty were attempted in 12 babies with pulmonary atresia and an intact ventricular septum. All babies immediately underwent valvotomy when echocardiography revealed a tripartite
A 2,980-gram female infant was born to a 25-year-old mother at the gestational age of 34 weeks with the chief problems of asphyxia and respiratory distress. Prenatal sonogram at 34th week of gestation showed significant pleural effusion, mediastinal shift, polyhydramnios and large for date. Soon
To investigate the role that cardiac anomalies play in the early death frequently seen in the trisomy 13 and the trisomy 18 syndromes, two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiograms from 31 newborn infants with cytogenetic confirmation of these syndromes seen at one institution over a 4.5 year period
Pancreatitis may be associated with thoracic complications, notably chronic massive pleural effusion (CMPE) and, rarely, pseudocysts with mediastinal extension (PME) and enzymatic mediastinitis (EM). Our personal experience with 14 cases of thoracic complications (nine CMPE, two PME associated with
A 32-year-old female patient was operated on for a residual colonic stricture occurring after hemicolectomy. A right internal jugular central venous catheter was inserted during the anaesthetic for postoperative parenteral feeding. The anaesthetic combined both general and epidural anaesthesia, the
A 72-year-old male patient was scheduled for extirpation of the right kidney and ureter with partial resection of the bladder. Anesthesia was maintained with general and epidural anesthesia. After the end of surgery, he awoke and his spontaneous ventilation seemed to be good. Soon after extubation,
Orofacial digital syndromes are a heterogeneous group of rare malformative diseases, characterised by abnormalities of the oral cavity, maxillofacial region and digits. Orofacial digital syndromes are classified into ten types with orofacial digital syndrome type II, Mohr's syndrome being
The clinical and morphologic features of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in 20 patients recognized as having cardiac disease in the first year of life are described. Fourteen of these 20 infants were initially suspected of having heart disease solely because a heart murmur was identified. However, the
