Congenital Diseases Flashcards
number one cause of painless massive GI bleeding requiring a transfusion in children between the ages of 1 and 2 years.
Meckel’s Diverticulum
Asymptomatic diverticula
Diverticulosis
Meckel diverticulum rule of 2
the Meckel diverticulum
occurs in about 2% of the population,
is about 2 inches in length,
is usually located within 2 feet of the ileocecal valve, and
usually presents before 2 years of age
Vitello-intestinal/Omphalomesenteric duct disappears
disappears entirely by weeks 8-10 of gestation.
Adrenal cortex zone and hormones
zona glomerulosa (ZG), fasciculata (ZF), and reticularis (ZR), responsible to produce aldosterone, cortisol, and sex steroid hormone
pain in 9 IBS
low dose tricyclic antidepressants if pain is a dominant symptom
Hernia with lung hypoplasia
Bochdalek
If absent Vas deferens and consistent chest infection
Think of
Cystic fibrosis
<5 year child with severe pain during defecation with post bright red blood
Anal fissure
current jelly type stool in which disease
Inflammatory bowel disease
current jelly type stool in which disease
Intussception
cherry red masss protruding out of anal canal
Juv3nile polyps as FAP
> 10 years old child with pain in internal rotation
Slipped femoral epiphysis
So get Hip Xray
More common in extended breech babies is which disease
Developmental dysplasia of the hip
Hip pain referr3d to knee
What diagnosis
If between 5 to12 years then it’s PERTHES
If it’s in obese male then it’s Slipped upper femoral epiphysis
flattened femoral head in xray
Perth3s disease
Heterogenous above hyoid bone neck mass
Dermoid
Mass with fat, Calcium and hair in a young age boy
Dermoid
Most commo. Branchial cyst origin site
2nd branchial cleft
Suprahyoid vs infrahyoid neck mass in children
Supra: Dermoid
Infra: Thyroglossal duct
Lesion on ant vs post site of SCM muscle
Ant: Branchiwl cyst near angle of mandible
Post: lymphatic malformation
Age for cystic hygromq
Less than 2 years
calcified phleboliths in a lesion
Infantil3 hemangioma
Exomphalos and diaphragmatic herniae are commonly associated with
Intestinal malrotation
Ligament of Treitz
- stabilize the duodenojejunal flexure and prevent it from being displaced.
- Transi5ion between forgut and midgut
UGIB vs LGIB is through which
Ligament of treitz attachment at duodenojejunal flexure.
Keypoints of esophageal atresia
- Distal Tracheaoesophageal fistula is the commonest variant
- High incidence of polyhydramnios.
- Absence of gastric fluid on antenatal U/s.
- High incidence of of associated imperforate anus.
Malrotation surgery
ladds procedure
Hirschsprung’s disease
Absence of ganglion cells from myenteric and submucosal plexuses
Diagnosis of Hirschsprung’s disease
Full thickness rectal biopsy
Surgeryfor Hirshprung
ANORECTAL PULLTHROUGH
VACTERL association is with
Esophageal atresia
Biliary atresia Rx
Kasai Procedure
main risk factor of Necrotising enterocolitis
Prematurity
most common cause of meconium plugs
cystic fibrosis
ISt line RX of Meconium ileus
Intestinal lavage
Ectopic testes site
base of penis, femoral triangle and perineum and superficial inguinal pouch
IF an ectopic lateral testes then surgery should be
Open Orchidopexy
Problems that occur during feeding are more suggestive of proximal pathology of which
Esophageal atresia
posterior urethral valves is associated with
Patent Urachus
cherry red lesions surrounding the umbilicus
Umbilical granuloma
commonest cause of Omphalitis
Staphylococcus aureus
Rx of Umbilical granloma
chemical cautery with topically applied silver nitrate.
Persistence of part of the vitello-intestinal duct
Meckels diverticulum
Time taKen by umbilical hermia to close spontaneously
B /w 12 months and three years)
congenital defects cryptorchidism is associated with
Patent processus vaginalis
Abnormal epididymis
Cerebral palsy
Mental retardation
Wilms tumour
Abdominal wall defects (e.g. gastroschisis, prune belly syndrome)
congenital undescended testis is one that has failed to reach the bottom of the scrotum by which age
3 months of age
Time when orchidopexy needs to be done in undescendent testes
6-18months
Loss of sertoli cells due to undescendant testes
2years
When orchidectomy becomes better than orchidopexy in undescended testicle
In late teens when nothing is Present to besalvaged
Rx Of indirect inguinal hernia in children
Herniotomy
as post wall is usually normal and its due to Patent processus vaginalis
Rx Of indirect inguinal hernia in children
Herniotomy
as post wall is usually normal and its due to Patent processus vaginalis
why need of bilateral exploration of indirect inguinal hernia in children
As most of them are bilateral but not in males
