Sites of predilection are the intertriginous areas, face, and scalp. Rapid resolution occurs following removal to a cooler environment.

23
Q

Caused by persistence of the processus vaginalis (tube of peritoneum that precedes the testicle through the inguinal canal into the scrotum); following testicular descent, the upper portion atrophies, leaving the distal portion (tunica vaginalis) to envelop the testicle. Failure of obliteration of the upper portion of the processus vaginalis allows abdominal fluid or intestinal protrusion, creating a palpable mass.

25
Q

Yellow coloring of the skin as a result of increased bilirubin levels which are usually visible at levels greater than 5 mg/dL.

A

Jaundice

26
Q

The feet are turned down and inward. The sole is directed medially.

A

Club feet (Talipes equinovarus)

27
Q

Upper rim of the acetabulum fails to develop and the femoral head is malpositioned. Use Ortolani and Barlow maneuvers.

A

Developmental dysplasia of the hip
Ortolani maneuver: Gentle abduction test can detect dislocated hips (head of femur is outside the acetabulum and can be reduced with abduction and lifting of the greater trochanter).
Barlow maneuver: Gentle manipulation test can detect dislocatable hips (head of femur is in the acetabulum and can be subluxated or dislocated by pushing posteriorly on the femur in adduction).

28
Q

Solitary or scattered superficial bullae on the upper limbs and lips of infants at birth. Commonly found on the radial aspect of the forearm, thumb, and index finger.

A

Sucking blisters (result from sucking on the affected part in utero)

29
Q

Usually appears as a large, red, firm, ill-defined mass resembling a cyst, located anywhere on the body.

A

Cavernous hemangioma

30
Q

A diffuse edematous swelling of the soft tissue of the scalp which may extend over suture lines.

A

Caput succedaneum

31
Q

40% of infants have these multiple yellow or white papules. They are usually benign and usually disappear with in a few weeks.

A

Milia

32
Q

The skull deformity is the result of a hemorrhage, usually from a traumatic forceps delivery. It does NOT cross suture lines.

A

Cephalhematoma

33
Q

This congenital defect occurs in one in 300 males where the placement of the urethral meatus is anywhere between the tip of the glans and the perineum (ventral surface/underside). Wait for circumcision to use skin for surgery.

A

Hypospadius

34
Q

Associated with submucous cleft palate.

A

Bifid uvula

35
Q

Uncommon sublingual cysts that are benign but may rupture with vigorous sucking.

A

Ranulae

36
Q

Deep red or purple in color usually present at birth. Blanch only minimally with pressure and do not disappear with time. Watch for ocular conditions.

A

Port wine stain (Nevus flammeus)

37
Q

Term for widely spaced eyes. The diagnosis should be made on the measurement of the inner canthal distance.

A

Hypertelorism

38
Q

The urethral opening is located on the dorsal surface (top side) of the penis.

A

Epispadias

39
Q

Adduction of the forefoot, correctable with active ROM. Most common congenital foot deformity.

A

Metatarsus adductis

40
Q

This is usually indicated if a palpable mass is covered with normal skin and moves with the skin.

A

Lipoma

41
Q

This congenital structural depression of the sternum is usually of no clinical concern.

A

Pectus excavatum

42
Q

Common newborn rash, numerous small areas of red skin with a yellow/red papule at the center.

A

Erythema toxicum

Q

This is suspected if the bottom of a sacral pit is not visible or if there is moisture around an otherwise dry dimple, perhaps belying a small meningomyelocele or other anomaly

A

44
Q

Deep, rosy red color of the skin. More common in polycythemia but may also be seen in overoxygenated or overheated infants.

46
Q

A lacy red pattern noted on the skin seen in the infant with cold stress, hypovolemia or sepsis.

A

Cutis marmorata

47
Q

The presence of fibrotic tissue that causes a ventral curvature of the erect penis. May be associated with hyposadias or can occur alone.

A

Chordee

48
Q

Foot is dorsiflexed at a sharp angle with the top of the foot in contact with the anterior surface of the tibia. Occurs secondary to abnormal in utero positioning, and requires orthopedic consultation if postnatal positioning appears fixed.

A

Calcaneovalgus

49
Q

The frenulum of the underside of the tongue prevents complete tongue protrusion. Concerned for eating problems.

A

Tongue tie (Ankyloglossia)

A

Klumpke paralysis

51
Q

Missing digits.

A

Olygodactyly

52
Q

This fold over the medial aspect of the eye may be familial but occurs in less than 1% of the population. It is also seen as a common feature of Down syndrome.

A

Epicanthic folds

53
Q

This is the name for the abnormal fusion of the digits (fingers or toes).

A

Syndactyly

54
Q

Present in one in 3,500 live births.

A

Natal teeth

55
Q

Extra digits.

A

Polydactyly

56
Q

Tends to be just lateral to midline on the spine.

A

Sacrococcygeal teratoma

57
Q

This reflex occurs by placing the infant in the supine position and turning the head to one side. The upper extremity on the side that the head is turned toward the shoulder extend and the upper extremity on the opposite side should flex.

A

Tonic neck reflex (Fencing)

58
Q

Blue or dusky appearance of skin.

A

Cyanosis

59
Q

Rupture of small conjunctival capillaries which can occur normally but is most common following a traumatic delivery.

Brushfield spots

61
Q
