Q

Precocious puberty, girls <8 years old (breast size increase, axillary/pubic hair development)
-hx of bone fractures, cafe au lait spots (hyper pigmented macules with irregular contours)
-GNAS gene mutation
-GnRH dependent INCREASE in FSH/LH
-INCREASED production of pituitary hormones

A

Mccune Albright Syndrome

**be careful, the other syndrome associated with cafe au lait is NF 1 (AD NF1 gene mutation on chromosome 17, with lisch nodules (pigmented iris hamartomas), gliomas, seizures, pheochromocytoma) NOT puberty probs

“baby has expiratory grunting, nasal flaring, chest wall retractions, cyanosis, tachypnea IMMEDIATELY OR SHORTLY AFTER BIRTH”
CHEST XRAY SHOWS: low lung volumes, diffuse/ fine/ reticulogranular “ground glass” infiltrates

cyanosis/impaired gas exchange/hypoxemia
pulmonary vasoconstriction, pulmonary hypertension
INCREASED alveolar surface tension
INCREASED A-a gradient
V/Q mismatch
DECREASED lung compliance

A

Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome

**CAUSED BY SURFACTANT DEFICIENCY

(risk factors include maternal diabetes and C sections)
