Congenital urogenital abnormalities in children with congenital hypothyroidism

Background: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH), as one of the most common congenital endocrine disorders, may be significantly associated with congenital malformations. This study investigates urogenital abnormalities in children with primary CH (PCH). Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 200 children aged three months to 1 year, referred to Amir-Kabir Hospital, Arak, Iran. One hund...

Acid-base abnormalities in infants with congenital heart disease.

Information about the frequency, nature, and extent of acidbase abnormalities in infants with congenital heart disease is limited. Gootman et al. (1963) reported four cases with Fallot's tetralogy, pulmonary atresia, transposition of the great vessels, and severe pulmonary stenosis. All were cyanosed at the time of investigation and had a low pH (7.05-7.28) due to base depletion. Rudolph and Da...

Congenital Trifurcation of the Trachea

"Tracheal trifurcation" is a veritable and rare finding. We illustrate a unique case that demonstrates the complexity and broad variability that congenital tracheobronchial anomalies can take. Appreciation of these is important at intubation, bronchoscopy, and surgery.

Congenital absence of the trachea.

In 1941 Wolman reviewed the data of 11 cases of congenital stenosis of the trachea and recorded one of his own. One of these cases was a stillborn child; seven of the live-born infants died under the age of 6 months. Gruber (1870) recorded the details of the stillborn case. Finkelstein (1924) described the case, cited by Wolman, where death took place at the age of 4 days; in this infant the lu...
