….normal, healthy lives
Laboratory abnormalities associated with infantile pyloric stenosis?
hypochloremic, hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis
Treatment course of infant with pyloric stenosis showing signs of dehydration?
Although pyloromyotomy is treatment of choice, infants showing signs of dehydration or electrolyte imbalances should be admitted for IV rehydration and normalization of electrolytes prior to definitive surgical treatment.
Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is most common in _____ an typically begins at age _____ with ____, ______ after every feed. Classic PE finding?
first born boys….3-5 weeks….projectile, non-bilious vomiting…..palpable olive shaped mass
Mild Vs Moderate/severe croup? Treatment for both?
- Mild (no stridor at rest); tx = corticosteroids
- Moderate/severe (stridor at rest) ; tx = corticosteroids + nebulized epinephrine
Tetralogy of Fallot
- Right ventricular outflow obstruction (pulomonary stenosis or atresia)
- Right Vent hypertrophy
- Overriding aorta
- Ventricular septal defect
Patient position during a tet spell with Tetralogy of Fallot and what it results in
Placement of patients in knee-chest position during hypercyanotic spell increases systemic vascular resistance, increases pulmonary blood flow and improves symptoms as well as cyanosis
Primary amenorrhea, delayed puberty, short stature, Square- shaped chest and bicuspid aortic valve are suggestive of
turner syndrome
Initial work up for primary amenorrhea?
Pelvic exam and US to evaluate internal female anatomy
US findings in turner syndrome?
“streak ovaries” due to primary ovarian failure from gonadal dysgenesis
Turner syndrome is a sporadic chromosomal disorder which results from….
…a complete or partial deletion of the X chromosome; gold standard is karyotyping (45, XO)
12 yo with back pain, neurologic dysfunction (urinary incontinence) and palpable step off at lumbo sacral region without fever
