How does head folding occur?

A
  1. embryo elongates cranially and caudally week 4

A
  • Rare, results from failure of recanalizstion of larynx
  • Obstruction of the upper fetal airway or Congeniatal high ariway obstruction syndrom (CHAOS)
  • Airways become dilated and lungs enlarged and filled with fluid
  • Diaphragm is flattened or inverted and fetal ascites or hydrops is present
  • Treatment is by endoscopic dilation of laryngeal web

A
  • Hypopharyngeal eminence produced from the mesenchyme of 3 &4 PA

A

Myoblasts of 4th and 6th arch

31
Q

Describe position of larynx an epiglottis in neonates?

A
  • High position in the neck of the neonate
  • Epiglottis is in contact with the soft palate and separates respiratory and digestive tracts
32
Q

What does the endoderm contribute to the trachea?

A
  • Differentiates into the tracheal epithelium and glands
33
Q

What does the splanchnic mesoderm contribute to the trachea?

A

  • Muscle
  • tracheal cartilages
34
Q

What is a tracheoesophageal fistula and what is associated with it?

A
  • Most common anomaly of lower respiratory tract
  • Abnormal conection btw trachea and esophagus
  • Failure of th eforegut endodemr to proliferate quick enough in relation to the rest of the body

35
Q

How do patients with tracheoesophageal fistula present?

A
  • Can’t swallow
  • Frequently drool
  • Immediate regurgitation after feeding
  • Gastric and intestinal contents may reflux through fistula into trachea and lungs
  • Can develop polyhydramnios as fluid can’t enter stomach/intestines for absorption
36
Q

In week 4, the laryngotracheal diverticulum enlarges to form ____.

A

In week 4, the laryngotracheal diverticulum enlarges to form respiratory bud

47
Q

What is the significance of fetal breathing movemnts?

A
