Bates CHARTS Flashcards
is the most common dysrhythmia in children.
Some infants with this look well or may be somewhat pale with tachypnea, but have a heart rate of ≥240 beats per minute. Others are ill and in cardiovascular collapse. P waves have different morphology or are not seen.
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)
SVT in infants is usually sustained, requiring medical therapy for conversion to a normal rate and rhythm.
In older children, it is more likely to be truly ___________, with episodes of varying duration and frequency.
paroxysmal
Hypertension can start in childhood.
Although elevated blood pressure in young children is more likely to have a ___,_____, or _____,
renal, cardiac, or endocrine cause
older children and adolescents with hypertension are most likely to have ______ or _________
primary or essential hypertension.
This child developed hypertension, and it “tracked” into adulthood.
Children tend to remain in the same percentile for blood pressure as they grow.
This tracking of blood pressure continues into adulthood, supporting the concept that ______ _______ _______ often begins during childhood.
The consequences of untreated hypertension can be severe.
adult essential hypertension
These common yellow or white pustules are surrounded by a red base.
Erythema Toxicum
Red pustules and papules are most prominent over the cheeks and nose of some normal newborns.
Neonatal Acne
The salmon red, scaly eruption often involves the face, neck, axilla, diaper area, and behind the ears.
Seborrhea
Erythema, scaling, dry skin, and intense itching characterize this condition.
Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)
Characteristic features include more than 5 café-au-lait spots and axillary freckling. Later findings include neurofibromas and Lish nodules (not shown).
Neurofibromatosis
This bright red rash involves the intertriginous folds, with small “satellite lesions” along the edges.
Candidal Diaper Dermatitis
This irritant rash is secondary to diarrhea or irritation and is noted along contact areas (here, the area touching the diaper).
Contact Diaper Dermatitis
This infection is due to bacteria and can appear bullous or crusty and yellowed with some pus.
Impetigo
Dry, rough warts on hands
Verruca Vulgaris
Small, flat warts
Verruca Plana
Tender warts on feet
Plantar Warts
Dome-shaped, fleshy lesions
Molluscum Contagiosum
involves open comedones (blackheads) and closed comedones (whiteheads) shown at the left, and inflamed pustules (right).
Adolescent Acne
Intensely pruritic, red, distinct papules characterize these lesions.
Bites
Scaling, crusting, and hair loss are seen in the scalp, along with a painful plaque (kerion) and occipital lymph node (arrow).
Tinea Capitis
This pruritic, allergic sensitivity reaction changes shape quickly.
Urticaria (Hives)
Intensely itchy papules and vesicles, sometimes burrows, most often on extremities
Scabies
This annular lesion has central clearing and papules along the border.
Tinea Corporis
Oval lesions on trunk, in older children, sometimes a herald patch
Pityriasis rosea
Although not present at birth, it appears within the first 24 hours from subperiosteal hemorrhage involving the outer table of one of the cranial bones.
The swelling, shown at the arrow, does not extend across a suture, though it is occasionally bilateral following a difficult birth.
The swelling is initially soft, then develops a raised bony margin within a few days from calcium deposits at the edge of the periosteum. It tends to resolve within several weeks.
Cephalohematoma
the anterior fontanelle is bulging, and the eyes may be deviated downward, revealing the upper scleras and creating the setting sun sign, as shown on the left. The setting sun sign is also seen briefly in some normal newborns.
Hydrocephalus
is a condition of premature closure of one or more sutures of the skull. This results in an abnormal growth and shape of the skull because growth will occur across sutures that are not affected but not across sutures that are affected.
The figures demonstrate different skull shapes associated with the various types of this.
The prematurely closed suture line is noted by the absence of a suture line in each figure.
Scaphocephaly and frontal plagiocephaly are most common.
The blue shading shows areas of maximal flattening. The red arrows show the direction of continued growth across the sutures, which is normal.
Craniosynostosis
Babies born to women with chronic alcoholism are at increased risk for growth deficiency, microcephaly, and mental retardation.
Facial characteristics include short palpebral fissures, a wide and flattened philtrum (the vertical groove in the midline of the upper lip), and thin lips.
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
The child has coarse facial features, a low-set hair line, sparse eyebrows, and an enlarged tongue.
Associated features include a hoarse cry, umbilical hernia, dry and cold extremities, myxedema, mottled skin, and mental retardation.
Most infants with this have no physical stigmata; this has led to screening of all newborns in the United States and most other developed countries
congenital hypothyroidism (cretinism)
In utero infection by Treponema pallidum usually occurs after the 16th week of gestation and affects virtually all fetal organs.
If it is not treated, 25% of infected babies die before birth and another 30% shortly thereafter.
Signs of illness appear in survivors within the first month of life.
Facial stigmata shown here include bulging of the frontal bones and nasal bridge depression (saddle nose), both from periostitis; rhinitis from weeping nasal mucosal lesions (snuffles); and a circumoral rash.
Mucocutaneous inflammation and fissuring of the mouth and lips (rhagades), not shown here, may also occur as stigmata, as may craniotabes tibial periostitis (saber shins) and dental dysplasia (Hutchinson’s teeth
congenital syphilis
may be from
(1) an injury to the nerve from pressure during labor and birth,
(2) inflammation of the middle ear branch of the nerve during episodes of acute or chronic otitis media, or
(3) unknown causes (Bell’s palsy).
The nasolabial fold on the affected left side is flattened, and the eye does not close.
This is accentuated during crying, as shown here.
Full recovery occurs in ≥90% of those affected.
Facial Nerve Palsy
Peripheral (lower motor neuron) paralysis of the facial nerve
usually has a small, rounded head, a flattened nasal bridge, oblique palpebral fissures, prominent epicanthal folds, small, low-set, shell-like ears, and a relatively large tongue.
Associated features include generalized hypotonia, transverse palmar creases (simian lines), shortening and incurving of the fifth fingers (clinodactyly), Brushfield’s spots, and mental retardation.
Down syndrome (trisomy 21)
The child may have old and fresh bruises on the head and face and may either look sad and forlorn or be actively seeking to please, sometimes even particularly involved with and attentive to the abusing parent.
Other stigmata include bruises in areas (axilla and groin) not usually subject to injury rather than the bony prominences;
x-ray evidence of fractures of the skull, ribs, and long bones in various stages of healing; and skin lesions that are morphologically similar to implements used to inflict trauma (hand, belt buckle, strap, rope, coat hanger, or lighted cigarette).
Battered Child Syndrome
The child has an open mouth (cannot breathe through the nose) and edema and discoloration of the lower orbitopalpebral grooves (“allergic shiners”).
Such a child is often seen to push the nose upward and backward with a hand (“allergic salute”) and to grimace (wrinkle the nose and mouth) to relieve nasal itching and obstruction.
Perennial Allergic Rhinitis
occurs in approximately 2 per 1,000 children younger than 10 years.
Affected children exhibit hypermetabolism and accelerated linear growth.
Facial characteristics shown in this 6-year-old girl are “staring” eyes (not true exophthalmos, which is rare in children) and an enlarged thyroid gland (goiter).
Hyperthyroidism
Thyrotoxicosis (Graves’ disease)
These abnormal speckling spots on the iris suggest Down syndrome.
Brushfield’s Spots
Strabismus, or misalignment of the eyes, can lead to visual impairment. Esotropia, shown here, is an inward deviation.
Strabismus
is one of the most common conditions in young children.
The spectrum is shown here.
what are A, B and C showing
Otitis Media
(A) Typical acute otitis media with a red, distorted, bulging tympanic membrane in a highly symptomatic child.
(B) Acute otitis media with bullae formation and fluid visible behind the tympanic membrane.
(C) Otitis media with effusion, showing a yellowish fluid behind a retracted and thickened tympanic membrane.
This infection is common in infants. The white plaques do not rub off.
Oral Candidiasis (“Thrush”)
Tender ulcerations on the oral mucosa are surrounded by erythema.
Herpetic Stomatitis

Nursing Bottle caries
what is going on here?
erosion of teeth
This common childhood infection has a classic presentation of erythema of the posterior pharynx and palatal petechiae (left). A foul-smelling exudate (right) is also commonly noted.
Streptococcal Pharyngitis (“Strep Throat”)
Enlarged and tender cervical lymph nodes are common in children. The most likely causes are viral and bacterial infections. Lymph node enlargement can be bilateral, as shown in the figure to the left.
Lymphadenopathy
This baby has total anomalous pulmonary venous return and an oxygen saturation level of 80%.
Generalized Cyanosis
This baby has mild cyanosis above the lips, but the mucous membranes remain pink.
Perioral Cyanosis
Normal pigment deposition in the vermilion border of the lips gives them a bluish hue, but the mucous membranes are pink.
Bluish Lips, Giving Appearance of Cyanosis
This commonly appears on the feet and hands of babies shortly after birth. This infant is a 32-week-old newborn.
Acrocyanosis
Usually a normal valve anulus with fusion of some or most of the valve leaflets, restricting flow across the valve
Pulmonary Valve Stenosis
Usually a bicuspid valve with progressive obstruction, but there may be a dysplastic valve or damage from rheumatic fever or degenerative disease
Aortic Valve Stenosis
Complex defect with ventricular septal defect, infundibular and usually valvular right ventricular outflow obstruction, malrotation of the aorta, and right-to-left shunting at ventricular septal level
With Pulmonic Stenosis
Tetralogy of Fallot
Blood going from a high-pressured left ventricle through a defect in the septum to the lower-pressured right ventricle creates turbulence, usually throughout systole.
Small to Moderate
Ventricular Septal Defect
Continuous flow from aorta to pulmonary artery throughout the cardiac cycle when ductus arteriosus does not close after birth
Small to Moderate
Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Left-to-right shunt through an opening in the atrial septum, possible at various levels
Atrial Septal Defect
Acute hemorrhage and ecchymoses of tissues (10-month-old)
Erythema and superficial abrasions to the labia minora (5-year-old)
Healed interruption of hymenal membrane at 9 o’clock (4-year-old)

Extensive condylomata around the anus (2-year-old)
is the most common congenital penile abnormality.
The urethral meatus opens abnormally on the ventral surface of the penis.
One form is shown above; more severe forms involve openings on the lower shaft or scrotum.
Hypospadias
You should distinguish between ______ ______, shown above (with testes in the inguinal canals—see arrows), from highly retractile testes from an active cremasteric reflex.
