Perinatal Pathology Flashcards
1
Q
- disorders related to short gestation and low birth weight
- SIDS
- respiratory distress
- bacterial sepsis
A
causes of death under 1 yr of age
2
Q
- accidents
- congenital malformations
- malignant neoplasms
- homicide
- diseases of heart
- influenze, pneumonia
A
causes of death, 1-4 years of age
3
Q
- preterm, premature rupture of membranes prior to 37 WGA
- intrauterine infection
- structural abnormalieis of uterus, placenta
- multiple gestations
A
causes of prematurity and growth restriction
4
Q
- chromosomal abnormalities
- congenital anomalies (Potter sequence)
- TORCH infections
A
fetal causes of prematurity and growth restriction
5
Q
- cord abnormalities
- placental infarction, abruption
A
placental causes of prematurity
6
Q
- leading cause of resp distress in newborns, now decreased because of artificial surfactant
- exofurg, infasurf, survanta
- increased alveolar surface tension, atelectasis, hypoxemia and CO2 retention
- acidosis, endothelial and epithelial damage
- hyaline membranes
A
neonatal respiratory distress syndrome
7
Q
- complication of treatment of hyaline membrane disease
- squamous metaplasia, peribrochial and interstitial fibrosis, decrease in alveolar septation
A
bronchopulmonary dysplasia
8
Q
- feeding intolerance, abdominal distention and blood stools after 8-10 days of age
- pneumatosis intestinalis, portal venous gas
A
necrotizing enterocolitis
9
Q
- peaks at 2-4 months of age
- male predominance
- occurs during sleep period, Japan lowest and New Zealand highest
- rates in native americans and African americans are 2-7X higher
- history of mild upper respiratory tract infections, presumably viral
A
SIDS
10
Q
- petechial hemorrhages most consistent finding, but they are agonal events
- triple risk model: underlying vulnerability, critical development period, extrinsic risks (smoking, sleeping prone, mild infection)
A
SIDS
11
Q
-toxoplasma, rubella, CMV, herpes simplex, syphilis and HIV
A
TORCH infections
12
Q
- due to group B strep, positive cultures an indication for C section
- more than one organism consered child abuse, Muchausen by proxy
A
perinatal sepsis
13
Q
- mesencyhmal derivation
- often have primitive histo appearance
- abnormal embryogenesis common
- spontaneous regression and cytodifferentiation common
- familial or genetic pattern
A
pediatric tumors
14
Q
- most common tumor of infancy
- derived from blood vesels
- skin- face, scalp
- spontaneous regression
- associated with VHL syndrome
A
hemangiomas
15
Q
- mature, immature, malignant
- derived from pluripotent germ cells
- females > males
- sacrococcygeal the most common
- risk of malignant transformation is increased after 2 months of age
A
teratomas
