Ch 23-24 Flashcards
what is choanal atresia
a narrowing or blockage of the nasal passage by complete membrane or bony septum
what are the clinical presentations of choanal atresia
unilateral: respiratory distress and mucoid blockage
bilateral: emergency and acute respiratory distress or RF
what are the clinical manifestations of choanal atresia
- Cyanosis and retractions
- Inspiratory stridor (unilateral defect)
- Pulmonary hypertension (hypoxia/acidosis)
- Intolerance of feeding (Unable to nurse and feed simultaneously)
what is the incidence of choanal atresia
- Occurs in 1/700 births
- Females affected by 2:1 ratio over males
- Unilateral (most common)
- Bilateral (emergency)
- 50% have associated congenital abnormalities (Craniofacial or CHARGE)
what does CHARGE stand for
C – colobomas (division of eyeballs)
H – congenital heart disease
A – choanal atresia
R – retarded growth/development
G – genital anomalies in males
E – ear anomalies and deafness
what is macroglossia
abnormal large tongue
what are the clinical presentations of macroglossia
- Beckwith-Wiedemann and Downs syndrome
- protruding tongue
- stridor, snoring
- feeding difficulties
- later: difficulty with speech and abnormal deviated jaw
what is mandibular hypoplasia (macronathia)
incomplete or underdeveloped lower jaw
what are the clinical presentations of mandibular hypoplasia
- Pierre Robin or Treacher Collins syndrome
- Minor to severe respiratory distress
- Feeding intolerance (Failure to thrive, malnutrition, hyperextension of neck)
what is tracheoesophageal fistula
- Esophageal atresia (EA) – narrowing or obstruction of esophagus
- Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) – connection or hole between the lower esophagus and trachea
what are the clinical presentations of tracheoesophageal fistula
- 1st symptom – drooling with frothing and bubbling at nose and mouth
- Coughing, chocking and cyanosis with feeding (Poor feeding)
- Continuous or sporadic respiratory distress -severe and progressive (Wheezing)
- Recurrent respiratory infections
- Blockage (atresia) and aspiration of gastric/salivary contents (fistula)
what is the incidence of tracheoesophageal fistula
- 1/3000 births
2. male to female is equal
what are the clinical presentations of congenital diaphragmatic hernia
- Immediate respiratory distress with associated cyanosis
- Chest/abdominal asynchrony
- Right sided heart sounds
- Bowel sound in chest
- Scaphoid abdomen - concave
what is the incidence of congenital diaphragmatic hernia
- 1/2500 births
- bochdaleks hernia
(90% of left side)
what is omphalacele
Abdominal wall abnormality of which variable amounts of the abdominal contents (intestines, liver and other organs) protrude through the base of the umbilical cord (belly button) into a thin-walled sac outside the body at the base of the umbilical cord
what is the incidence of omphalacele
- 1/5386 births
- 1/3 have trisomy 13, 18 or 21
- Occurs early in fetal development ( about 10 weeks gestation)
- Develops during organogenesis (other defects seen) – cardiac, sternal, hindgut, and thoracic cavity
what are the types of omphalacele
- epigastric (high) - cephalic fold
- classic (midabdominal) - lateral fold
- hypogastric (low) - caudal fold
what is gastrschisis
- A birth defect which there is an opening in abdominal wall to the right of the umbilicus allowing abdominal contents to protrude outside the body without a covering
- Separate from umbilicus
what is necrotizing enterocolitis
a serious gastrointestinal dieses that predominately affects premature infants
what are the clinical presentations of necrotizing enterocolitis
- abdominal distention
- blood stools
- poor feeding
- green vomit or gastric drainage
- infection with lethargy and apnea
- diarrhea
- temperature instability
what are complications associated with mandibular hypoplasia
- increased morbidity due to (aspiration, pulmonary HTN, Cor Pulmonale, failure to thrive)
- orthodontic problems
- speech dysfunction
- chronic ear infection
what are complications of choanal atresia
- respiratory distress
- aspiration with feeding
- restenosis
- tracheostomy
what are complications of tracheoesophageal fistula
- apnea or bradycardia
- feeding difficulty
- gastroesophageal reflux
- esophageal dysmotility
what are complications of congenital diaphragmatic hernia
- pneumothoraces
- high morality rate
- pulmonary infections
- post operative (pulmonary HTN, potential stimulation, hypoxemia, acidosis, hypercarbia, R-L shunt)
