Q

5 stages of ROP

A
  1. Distinct demarcation line separatin transition of vascularized posterior retina and avascular anterior retina
  2. Demarcation line is thickened and elevated
  3. Ridge with extraretinal neovascularization and retinal vessels enter vitreos space
  4. Partial retinal detachment
  5. Complete retinal detachment- severest from

Plus disease: dilated, tortuous vessels that demonstrate advanced vascular disease, always evident before retinal detachment

Q

**In utero radiation exposure can cause _____

A

Cataracts

20
Q

Etiology of primary glaucoma

A

AR
Males>females
presents at birth

caused by structural abnormality

21
Q

Epidemiology of hearing loss

A

~2% of all infants screened will refer
~15-20% of those will have confirmed hearing loss

22
Q

Most common genetic cause of hearing loss

A

Mutation in the connexin 26 (Cx26) gene
Causes ~20-30% of congenital hearing loss

23
Q

Etiology of hearing loss

A

50% genetic (Cx26 gene most common)
25% acquired (develops secondary to injury to the developing auditory system in intrapartum or perinatal period)
25% unknown

24
Q

What is the most common cause of nonhereditary sensorineural hearing loss?

A

CMV!
10-15% of babies with congenital CMV are symptomatic
60% will have sensorineural hearing loss
5-10% of asymptomatic babies develop sensorineural hearing loss

25
Q

In utero infections associated with hearing loss

A

CMV
Zika
Herpes
Rubella
Syphilis
Toxoplasmosis

26
Q

Epidemiology of choanal atresia

A

1:8,000 births
2:1 females:males
More often unilateral (2/3) R>L

27
Q

Differences between nasal encephalocele, glioma and meningocele

A

Encephalocele:
contiguous with CSF
lesion may be pulsatile, expand with crying or compression of jugular vein

Glioma:
connective tissue mass of CNS- NO CONNECTION WITH CNS
firm, noncompressible lesions

Meningocele:
contiguous with CNS, CONTAINS BRAIN TISSUE
lesion may be pulsatile, expand with crying or compression of jugular vein

28
Q

Nasolacrimal duct obstruction

A

MC lacrimal abnormality in infants
incomplete canalization of nasal lacrimal duct system- nasal end at level of Hasner’s valve
Majority mild and resolve spontaneously

29
Q

Distinguishing test to dx pyriform aperture stenosis

A

inability to pass #6 french catheter anteriorly through nares

manifestation of bony overgrowth of the nasal process of the anterior maxilla–> anterior narrowing of nasal airway

30
Q

Describe a lingual thyroid

A

MC congenital mass
Posterior aspect of tongue
F>M (4:1)
mass of ectopic thyroid tissue- failure of normal thyroid tissue to descend to its usual cervical position
when present, only functioning thyroid tissuein 70%
Majority asymptomatic
Confirm by radionuclide scanning

31
Q

Differences in mucoceles and ranulas

A

Mucoceles: develop from minor salivary glands, painless asymptomatic, acute smooth swelling, fluctuate in size, rupture spontaneously

Ranula: develop from major salivary glands, nontender, mobile, glistening, broad-based englargement with intact overlying mucosa, BLUISH HUE

32
Q

Effects of edema on the neonatal airway

A

more profound effects because neonatal airway is small
1mm of local edema reduces the glottis to 35% of it’s initial size, reduces subglottic airway to 25% of initial size

with age, airway shape changes from conical to cylindrical

33
Q

Which side is vocal cord paralysis more common?

A

LEFT- recurrent laryngeal nervs has longer/winding course, more susceptibel to trauma

2nd MC congenital laryngeal anomaly
Unilateral more common

Q

A

Inspiratory
may be biphasic
