  2. apply light pressure on knee and direct force posteriorly

positive findings:

femoral head dislocated posteriorly fro acetabulum

Q

hip special tests according to age

newborns

infants

older

A

newborns (performed up until 3m of age)

•Barlow

Ortolani maneuvers

infants

  • Evaluation of hip abduction -> limited abduction: concerning
  • Evaluation of symmetry of gluteal folds -> asymmetry: concerning
  • Galleazzi test - used to assess for hip dislocation, specifically testing for developmental dysplasia of the hip.

older - Trendelenburg sign (weak hip abductors)

Q

scoliosis assessment

A

Evaluation of shoulder-scapula-hips symmetry w/ pt standing

_Adams forward bend tes_t -> Scoliosis:

26
Q

Tanner Stages of External Genitalia Development males

27
Q

what are 2 possible dx seen in pediatric males w/ complaint of scrotal edema

A

hydrocele

hernia

28
Q

hydrocele vs hernia

testicular involvment

reducible

transilumination (+/-)

tx

A

hydrocele

_testicular involvmen_t - YES, Overlies testes & spermatic cord

reducible - NO

transilumination- +

tx - spontanous resolution in 18 mo

hernia

testicular involvment - NO, independent from testes

reducible - YES

transilumination - NO

tx - no spontaneoud resolution, surgical repair

29
Q

what is very important to NOT do in cases of Hypospadias

A

•NO CIRCUMCISION – if need to be repaired they will need the extra skin

30
Q

define & their causes, cross suture lines?

Caput succedaneum

Cephalohematoma

A

Caput succedaneum

Define: Edematous scalp swelling about the periosteum

cause: prolonged engagement of head in birth canal or if vacuum extraction

cross suture line: YES

Cephalohematoma

Define: Subperiosteal blood collection

cause: More common in vacuum or forceps assisted deliveries -> (appears within first 24 hours)

c_ross suture line:_ NO

31
Q

Tx

Caput succedaneum

Cephalohematoma

A

Caput succedaneum - Benign - Resolves in 1 - 2 days

Cephalohematoma - Usually resolves within several weeks

Overall benign, though may develop complications:

  • Calcification
  • ↑risk of neonatal jaundice
  • Infection
32
Q

Cephalohematoma complications

A
  • Calcification
  • ↑risk of neonatal jaundice
  • Infection
33
Q

on inftant head exam define: Tx?

Positional plagiocephaly

Craniosynostosis

A

Positional plagiocephaly - •Flattening of parieto-occipital region

Tx: Resolves w/ time & as infant becomes more active (Increase in “tummy time” helps)

Craniosynostosis: Premature fusion of cranial sutures

  • Skull growth restricted perpendicular to affected suture
  • Compensatory skull growth parallel to affected suture

Tx: surgical reconstruction

34
Q

normal & abnormal findings assoc w/ red reflex

A

Normal:

  • Red/orange color reflected from fundus through pupil
  • Should be symmetric without opacities or spots

If abnormal-> Ophtho- referral

  • Cornea cloudiness = congenital glaucoma
  • Dark light reflex = cataract, retinopathy of prematurity
  • White retinal reflex (leukokoria) = cataract, retinal detachment, chorioretinitis, or retinoblastoma
35
Q

Tanner Staging of Brest Development F

A

•Stage I – prepubertal w/ no palpable breast tissue

•Stage II – development of breast bud, w/ elevation of papilla and enlargement of areolar diameter

•Stage IIIenlargement of the breast, without separation of areolar contour from breast

•Stage IVsecondary mound the areolar and papilla project above the breast

•Stage Vresection of areola to match the contour of the breast, the papilla projects beyond the contour of the areola and breast

36
Q

Children can have normal sinus dysrhythmia:

___ HR during inspiration

_____ HR on expiration

A
