PURPOSE: Indomethacin is accepted therapy for patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in ELBW infants (<1000 g). We hypothesize that surgical ligation may provide comparatively superior outcomes in select ELBW infants. METHODS: Predischarge outcomes of 298 ELBW infants with echocardiography-proven PDA were retrospectively compared by treatment provided: no treatment (group 1, n = 54), indomethacin (group 2, n = 140), ligation (group 3, n = 46), and ligation after indomethacin failure (group 4, n = 58)...

OBJECTIVE: Mucopolysaccharidosis(MPS) is a congenital hereditary disease. Only a few patients with this disease can be controlled by enzyme replacement therapy. Most of them are short of effective interference. To exploit the effect of treatment with allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, two children were treated with the transplantation. METHODS: The two patients included a 23 month MPS-IH and an 18 month old MPS-VI at the time of transplantation. Busulfan of 20 mg/kg plus 200 mg of Cyclophosphamide were used as the conditioning regimen...

Patients undergoing congenital heart surgery may occasionally require additional surgical procedures in the form of tracheostomy and gastrostomy. These procedures are often performed in an attempt to diminish hospital morbidity and length of stay. We reviewed the Web-based medical records of all patients undergoing congenital heart surgery at Miami Children's Hospital from February 2002 through August 2007. Patients who were deemed preterm and had undergone closure of a patent ductus arteriosis were eliminated...

The newborn can experience two types of differential cyanosis (DC). The common type of DC occurs when oxygen saturation in the right hand is greater than in the foot. The second type of DC, reversed differential cyanosis (RDC), occurs when oxygen saturation is lower in the right hand than in the foot. This phenomenon is observed in transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with patent ductus arteriosis (PDA) and elevated pulmonary vascular resistance or in TGA with PDA and preductal aortic interruption or coarctation...

The chicken embryo has two functioning ductus arteriosi (DA) during development. These blood vessels connect the pulmonary arteries to the descending aorta providing a right-to-left shunt of blood away from the nonrespiring lungs and to the systemic circuit and chorioallanotic membrane. The DA consists of two distinct tissue types along its length, a muscular proximal portion and an elastic distal portion. During hatching, the DA must close for proper separation of systemic and pulmonary circulation. We examined the morphological changes of the chicken DA before, during, and after hatching...

A Thai women, aged 22 years old, came to hospital with Patent Ductus Arteriosis (PDA). Left thoracotomy, with division and suturing PDA, was performed. The second day after operation, she developed paraplegia below umbilical level. The CT-scan detected an extradural hematoma in the spinal cavity from T3-T6. To remove the blood clot, the T spine laminectomy was performed. 6 months after the laminectomy, the patient was able to perform her regular exercise.

Right aortic arch with isolation of the left subclavian artery is a rare disorder. In this entity, the left subclavian artery has its origin from the pulmonary artery via the ductus arteriosus. We report an infant with an unbalanced atrioventricular septal defect, right aortic arch, bilateral ductus arteriosi and an isolated left subclavian artery. This infant also had chromosome 22q11 deletion. The origin and course of the isolated subclavian artery were well-demonstrated using contrast-enhanced 3-D magnetic resonance angiography...

REVIEW

Rubella, also known as German measles, is usually a very mild infection that can have devastating effects in certain instances. It is a pleomorphic RNA virus in the Togaviridae family of the genus Rubivirus. It typically causes a scarletiniform rash, cervical lymphadenopathy, and mild constitutional symptoms, but in older children and adults, especially women, it may be more severe, with joint involvement and purpuric rash. Infection during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy results in congenital infection and/or miscarriage in 80-90% of cases...

Sharon Phillips Andreoli
Acute renal failure in the newborn is a common problem and is typically classified as prerenal, intrinsic renal disease including vascular insults, and obstructive uropathy. In the newborn, renal failure may have a prenatal onset in congenital diseases such as renal dysplasia with or without obstructive uropathy and in genetic diseases such as autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease. Acute renal failure in the newborn is also commonly acquired in the postnatal period because of hypoxic ischemic injury and toxic insults...

OBJECTIVE: This study reports the clinical and molecular data of an XY patient with a very unusual phenotype due to a Wilms' tumor-suppressor (WT1) gene mutation. The genotype-phenotype relationship of different WT1 mutations is then discussed. PATIENT: The patient presented at birth with micropenis, severe hypospadias and cryptorchidism. Normal androgen production and an absence of clinical response to a testosterone treatment trial suggested partial androgen resistance...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the relative frequencies of complications in severe early intrauterine growth-restricted (IUGR) infants. METHODS: All infants 32 weeks gestation or less with birth weight less than the fifth percentile admitted from January 1991 to December 1998 were identified retrospectively. Two infants were identified for each IUGR case: the subsequent admission with birth weight +/-100 g of the case, and the subsequent admission with the same gestational age...

COMPARATIVE STUDY
S E Shipton, P L van der Merwe, E D Nel
The presence of a haemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosis (PDA) in the premature newborn may contribute to the development of brochopulmonary dysplasia, intraventricular haemorrhage and necrotising enterocolitis. It is therefore essential that the diagnosis of such a PDA be made in time in order to intervene medically or surgically. Echocardiography is at present the prime diagnostic tool, but it is mainly available in tertiary hospitals. Chest roentgenography is of little diagnostic value especially in the presence of respiratory disease, which is often present in premature babies...

A prospective follow-up of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants with and without bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and term control infants was conducted. The effects of BPD and VLBW on speech-language development and specific language impairment at 3 years of age were investigated, controlling for the effects of sociodemographic and other medical risk factors. Groups were compared on cognitive and speech-language outcomes using the Battelle Language and Bayley Mental Scales of Infant Development. Children with a history of BPD had lower receptive language skills than VLBW children without BPD, who in turn had lower receptive skills than term children...

REVIEW
R Verma, J F Keane
Interventional therapy of congenital heart lesions at cardiac catheterization has greatly increased during the past decade. At the authors' institution, the frequency of such procedures among catheterizations has increased from 5% to more than 60%. The variety of lesions so treated continues to expand and equipment continues to improve. These procedures may be divided into 2 groups, namely (1) those involving balloon dilation of stenotic valves and vessel obstructions with stent placement being increasingly used in the latter and (2) those involving occlusion of lesions with (a) coils, such as aortopulmonary collaterals, patent ductus arteriosi and coronary artery fistulae and (b) umbrella devices, such as atrial and ventricular septal defects...
