Cantrell's pentalogy (CP), a rare congenital malformation, consists of the supraumbilical abdominal wall defect, the sterna lower part defect and agenesis of the anterior portion of the diaphragm, an absence of the diaphragmatic part of the pericardium, and a malformation of cardia. This case report presents a female neonate, who was born at 32 weeks of conception, weighing 1300 g and was admit...

Hirschsprung's disease (HD) is a congenital anomaly of innervation the lower intestine, limited to colon, resulting from partial or total obstruction. The main symptom inability newborn evacuate within 48 hours after birth, which can cause intestinal obstruction in neonate and megacolon children adults. Therefore, this study reported case 30-year-old female patient with HD affecting entire wher...

We present a unique finding of an elevated level of pyruvate at 2.37 ppm revealed by in vivo MR spectroscopy of a female neonate. Low fibroblast pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex activity subsequently confirmed a diagnosis of PDH deficiency. Abnormalities of brain development consistent with PDH deficiency were also evident on fetal and postnatal MR images. To our knowledge, this is the firs...

A female neonate who was born as large for gestational age baby to a Diabetic mother had a continuous murmur in the left infraclavicular area with scolisis toward right and deficient ribs in the right side of her chest wall. She had a sacral dimple and a skin tag in the right lower back. Radiograph revealed hemivertebrae from T1-T6 level with absent third and seventh ribs and fused fourth, fift...

Pantoea agglomerans is a plant pathogen and an unusual cause of human disease typically associated with thorn prick injuries or contaminated parenteral fluids. In the neonate, P. agglomerans has been reported to cause bacteremia or sepsis 17 times previously. In most of these cases, the source of infection has been contaminated parenteral nutrition or has been associated with indwelling cathete...

Congenital Epulis, also known as Neumann's tumour, is a rare congenital growth affecting the gingival mucosa of neonates. It is benign condition, seen more frequently in females, with multiple Epuli occurring in only 10% of cases. The cause and origin of Congenital Epulis remains unclear. In this article we present a case report of an otherwise healthy female neonate with two Congenital Epuli a...

Since lactation is one of the most metabolically demanding states in adult female mammals, beautifully complex regulatory mechanisms are in place to time lactation to begin after birth and cease when the neonate is weaned. Lactation is regulated by numerous different homeorhetic factors, all of them tightly coordinated with the demands of milk production. Emerging evidence support that among th...
