We present the case of an 18-week abortus with lethal multiple pterygium syndrome and hydrops. Radiographic and anatomic study showed none of the bony abnormalities reported in live-born children with multiple pterygium syndrome. The pathogenesis of the hydrops was not apparent. The findings of
The prognostic value of adnexal findings in chronic GVHD (cGVHD) has not been investigated in children. Dermatologic examinations were performed in a severe cohort of 11 children with skin cGVHD seen over a 2-year period. Findings were compared with 25 additional patients with skin cGVHD and 97
Nonimmune hydrops fetalis may be associated with an elevated amniotic fluid delta OD450. Cases of I-cell disease (mucolipidosis II), lethal multiple pterygium syndrome, and alpha-thalassemia are presented, each associated with nonimmune hydrops fetalis and an elevated delta OD450. An elevated delta
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the etiology and outcome of fetal hydrops of nonimmune origin diagnosed in utero during the first half of pregnancy.
METHODS
We reviewed 45 cases of nonimmune fetal hydrops presenting between 11 and 17 weeks' gestation over a 4-year period.
RESULTS
The median gestational age at
Hydrops fetalis was diagnosed in 277 (9%) of 3,137 fetuses referred to the Wisconsin Stillbirth Service Program (WiSSP) for etiologic evaluation of stillbirth or second trimester miscarriage. Hydrops was clinically recognized at delivery in only about half the cases, while the remainder were
We report on three sib fetuses with the lethal multiple pterygium syndrome (LMPS), one case occurring in a twin pregnancy. All three fetuses had a cystic hygroma and hydrops was detected by ultrasound. The classification scheme for LMPS proposed by Hall [1984] is examined. With our present state of
OBJECTIVE
To compare 4 limbal-conjunctival autograft fixation techniques-conventional suture, commercial fibrin glue, autologous fibrin glue, and cautery-in primary nasal pterygium surgery.
METHODS
This is a retrospective and descriptive study. The postoperative patient discomfort, graft edema,
BACKGROUND
Translational research to develop pharmaceutical and surgical treatments for pterygium requires a reliable and easy to produce animal model. Extracellular matrix and fibroblast are important components of pterygium. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of the subconjunctival
Lethal multiple pterygium syndrome (LMPS) is a fatal hereditary disease associated with abnormalities such as pterygium-induced congenital contractures. Fetal hydrops is present in more than half of all patients with LMPS, and all patients with LMPS are either stillborn or die in the early neonatal
Limbal Conjunctival Autograft Transplantation (LCAT) is considered to be the most effective treatment option for pterygium with the least recurrence rate and rapid restoration of normal epithelial morphology. Of the many available methods for securing Limbal Conjunctival Autograft OBJECTIVE
Evaluate the efficacy and safety of intraoperative application of 5-Fluorourail in pterygium surgery and the recurrent pterigyum postoperative.
METHODS
240 eyes of 120 patients with bilateral primary pterygium were operated. One hundred twenty eyes had 5-FLU (25 mg/ml) applied
We report two second trimester pregnancy terminations in the same woman following intrauterine ultrasonic findings of hydrops fetalis, polyhydramnios, lack of fetal movements, and short, fixed malformed limbs. One fetus also showed a cystic mass at the back of the head. Radiographic and anatomic
We report on 2 brothers with lethal multiple pterygium syndrome (LMPS) born to non-consanguineous parents as late spontaneous abortions. Both fetuses presented with massive nuchal edema, and facial anomalies including cleft palate and broad ribs. Apparently, several subgroups of LMPS exist.
A 28-week male fetus with the cardinal signs of the lethal multiple pterygium syndrome (multiple pterygia, congenital joint contractures, lung hypoplasia, facial abnormalities, and hydrops) is reported here. In addition, he had hydranencephaly, an anomaly not yet reported in this group of
In this report we present the prenatal ultrasonic and postmortem data of a male fetus of 25 weeks' gestational age with a lethal multiple pterygium syndrome. The importance of precise etiologic diagnosis in a midtrimester fetus with generalized edema and nuchal hygroma is emphasized.
