Question 1

8 ABDOMINAL WALL DEFECTS

Answer 1

UOGI MMDA

Question 2

a protrusion of a portion of the intestine through the umbilical ring, muscle, and fascia surrounding
the umbilical cord. This creates a bulging protrusion under the skin at the umbilicus.

Answer 2

UMBILICAL HERNIAS

Question 3

is a protrusion (herniation) of abdominal contents through the abdominal wall at the point of the
junction of the umbilical core and abdomen. The herniated organs involved are usually the intestines, but they may
include the stomach and liver.

Answer 3

OMPHALOCELES

Question 4

is a condition similar to an omphalocele, except the abdominal wall disorder is a distance from the
umbilicus, usually to the right, and abdominal organs are not contained by a membrane but rather spill freely from the
abdominal wall.

Answer 4

GASTROSCHISIS

Question 5

an atresia (complete closure) or sternosis (narrowing) of the fetal bowel can develop,
although the most common site is the duodenum. May occur because the mesentery of the bowel twisted as the
bowel reentered the abdomen after being contained in the base of the umbilical cord early in intrauterine life or from
looseness of the intestine in the abdomen after it was returned.

Answer 5

INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION

Question 6

THERAPEUTIC MNGT OF INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTIONS

Answer 6

NIRA

NASOGASTRIC TUBE
IV THERAPY
REPAIR OF THE OBSTRUCTION
ANASTOMOSIS

Question 7

is an extremely hard portion of meconium that has completely blocked the intestinal
lumen, causing bowel obstruction.

Answer 7

MECONIUM PLUG SYNDROME

Question 7

obstruction of the intestinal lumen by hardened meconium, is a specific phenomenon that occurs
almost exclusively in infants with cystic fibrosis, resulting from the abnormal pancreatic enzyme function seen with
cystic fribrosis.

Answer 7

MECONIUM ILEUS

Question 8

USUAL SYMPTOMS OF M ILEUS

Answer 8

NO MECONIUM PASSAGE
ABDOMINAL DISTENTION
VOMITING OF BILE-STAINED FLUID

Question 9

is a weakness in the musculature that permits a portion of the abdominal organs, such as
the stomach or intestine, to protrude through the chest wall. This can cause a collapse of the lung due to cardiac
displacement on the right side of the chest.

Answer 9

DIAPHRAGMATIC HERNIAS

Question 10

is a stricture or the absence of the anus.

Answer 10

AN IMPERFORATE ANUS

Question 11

 Common disorder of the CSF physiology resulting in abnormal expansion of the cerebral ventricles.
 Is the accumulation of an excess amount of CSF in the ventricles or the subarachnoid space.

Answer 11

Question 11

3 MAIN REASONS WHY CSF ACCUMULATES

Answer 11

1. OVERPRODUCTION OF FLUID
2. OBSTRUCTION OF THE PASSAGE OF FLUID
3. INTERFERENCE WITH THE ABSORPTION OF CSF
