An hydropic infant was delivered at 32 weeks gestation by emergency Caesarean section for acute polyhydramnios. A diagnosis of cardiac rhabdomyomata was made on echocardiography. The baby survived 10 days, during which time repeated episodes of supraventricular tachycardia occurred. She eventually
SIFD describes a heritable, syndromic condition characterised principally by sideroblastic anaemia (SA) with immunodeficiency, fevers and developmental delay, arising in mutations within the TRNT1 gene. Other clinical manifestations of SIFD include cardiomyopathy, seizures, sensorineural hearing
The Na+/K+- ATPase acts as an ion pump maintaining the essential plasma membrane potential in all mammalian cell types, and is essential for many cellular functions. There are four α isoforms (α1, α2, α3 and α4) with distinct expression patterns, kinetic properties and
BACKGROUND
Subcortical nodular heterotopia is a neuronal migration disorder of uncertain etiology. This disorder occurs primarily in females and has a familial X-linked dominant inheritance pattern. The predominant symptom associated with heterotopia is seizures.
METHODS
At 23 weeks' gestation,
BACKGROUND
In the last years we have assisted to a great knowledge of inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). As consequence, the clinical suspicion of IEM in neuropediatrics is more frequent. The IEM must be investigated in the newborn with neurologic symptoms without any evident etiology, when
The prognosis for 45,X/46,XX mosaicism diagnosed prenatally has yet to be established. We report our experience with 12 patients in whom prenatal diagnosis of 45,X/46,XX mosaicism was detected by amniocentesis for advanced maternal age or decreased maternal serum alpha-feto protein and compared them
Deficiency of β-1,4 mannosyltransferase (MT-1) congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG), due to ALG1 gene mutations. Features in 9 patients reported previously consisted of prenatal growth retardation, pregnancy-induced maternal hypertension and fetal hydrops. Four patients died before 5 years of
OBJECTIVE
Gaucher disease is caused by a β-glucocerebrosidase (GBA) deficiency. The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical and genetic characteristics according to subtypes of Gaucher disease in the Korean population.
METHODS
Clinical findings at diagnosis, GBA mutations, and clinical
Background The main objective of this retrospective analysis in a large tertiary center was the clinical outcome of prenatally diagnosed cardiac rhabdomyomas as well as the identification of factors influencing fetal prognosis. Methods A total of 45 cases of fetuses with prenatally suspected
It is hypothesized that in some women an excessively high intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) compresses the inferior vena cava, uterine veins, portal vein, hepatic veins, splenic vein and renal veins which lead to a decreased flow in these vascular beds, producing lower extremity edema, fetal-placental
BACKGROUND
Sacrococcygeal teratoma, the most common congenital neoplasm of the newborn, associated with fetal hydrops and high morbidity and mortality related to the secondary effects of the tumor mass, is of unknown etiology. Prompt diagnosis and early treatment have proven to be
Congenital infections refer to a group of perinatal infections that may have similar clinical presentations, including rash and ocular findings. TORCH is the acronym that covers these infections (toxoplasmosis, other [syphilis], rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus). There are, however,
