Embryology and CLD/CHD Flashcards
3rd aortic arch develops into…
L common carotid and part of internal and external carotid
4th aortic arch develops into…
R = subclavian L = arch of aorta
6th aortic arch develops into…
part of pulmonary aa and ligamentum arteriosum
Double aortic arch
Right dorsal aorta remains intact below 7th intersegmental artery > forms around esophagus and trachea > pt often present with difficulty swallowing > may present with signs of intrathoracic compression of trachea (i.e. wheezing)
Subclavian sling
Right dorsal aorta remains intact below 7th intersegmental artery but disappears more superiorly > doesn’t compress esophagus and trachea as severely > R subclavian comes off left side and crosses posterior to esophagus and trachea
Sinus venosus becomes
Smooth wall of RA
Coronary sinus
Primordial atrium becomes
R and L auricles and LA
Primordial ventricle becomes
LV
Bulbus cordis becomes…
Proximal 1/3
Conus cordis
Truncus arteriosus
Muscular RV
Smooth outflow of RV and LV
ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk
Aortic sac becomes…
Aorta and pulmonary a.
Endocardial cushions become…
Atrial septum, membranous IVS, AV and semilunar valves
Early pulmonary vv become…
Smooth wall of LA
Conotruncal ridges become…
Septum b/w aorta and pulmonary a.
RDS MCC of…
respiratory failure in newborns
Most common CHD lesion
VSD
Most common congenital anomaly of the upper airway
Laryngomalacia
Structural differences between infant and adult lungs
- Infant airways not as complex
- Type I alveoli not completely flat > gas exchange less efficient
- Alveolar pores (Kuhn) and canals of Lambert not well developed
What phase of the fetal period is surfactant starting to be made?
Saccular ~26 weeks
Ground glass x-ray
RDS
Boot shaped heart x-ray
TOF
Egg on a string x-ray
TGA
Snowman x-ray
TAPVR
Tetralogy of Fallot Criteria
- Pulmonary stenosis
- RV hypertrophy
- Overriding aorta
- VSD
Associated with hypocalcemia, VSD
Truncus arteriosus
Associated with strong UE pulses and weak LE pulses
Coarctation of aorta
