This volume succinctly presents a review of central nervous system development and congenital malformations and illustrates the material superbly with numerous tables, diagrams, graphs, pathological specimens, brain sections, and, of course, CT scans. The author has done an admirable job in combining the illustrative advantages of an atlas with a review text's orientation to pertinent, concisel...

OBJECTIVE Central nervous system (CNS) anomalies are the most common abnormalities of all malformations and can be diagnosed on routine prenatal ultrasonography (US). We aimed to find out fetal CNS anomaly rate in our clinic which is the referral center in the region. METHODS This is a retrospective study of 15000 pregnant women who were scanned for routine obstetric follow-up from January 20...

We assessed feeding-related developmental anomalies in the LgDel mouse model of chromosome 22q11 deletion syndrome (22q11DS), a common developmental disorder that frequently includes perinatal dysphagia--debilitating feeding, swallowing and nutrition difficulties from birth onward--within its phenotypic spectrum. LgDel pups gain significantly less weight during the first postnatal weeks, and ha...

Objective: The present study was undertaken to explore the incidence of central nervous system anomalies in present geographical area. Method: Study includes 2000 consecutive pregnancies that have come for check up in second and third trimester with clinically relevant CNS malformations detectable by ultrasonography. Results: Analysis has revealed that there are 74 fetal anomalies in 34 fetuses...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Abnormal signal in the drainage territory of developmental venous anomalies has been well described in adults but has been incompletely investigated in children. This study was performed to evaluate the prevalence of brain parenchymal abnormalities subjacent to developmental venous anomalies in children and young adults, correlating with subject age and developmental veno...

The aim of this study were to describe and to compare structural central nervous system (CNS) anomalies detected by magnetic resonance image (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) in individuals affected by midline facial defects with hypertelorism (MFDH) isolated or associated with multiple congenital anomalies (MCA). The investigation protocol included dysmorphological examination, skull and faci...

BACKGROUND Developmental dental hard tissue anomalies are often associated with oral health problems. This study determined the clinical prevalence of developmental dental hard tissue anomalies in the permanent dentition of children resident in southwestern Nigeria and its association with dental caries and poor oral hygiene status. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study recruiting 1565 sch...
