  • examples
    • holoprosencephaly complex
    • prune belly
Term
define sequence and give examples
Definition

  • examples
    • Beckwith Wiedmann syndrome
    • Meckel's syndrome- polydactyly, occipital encephalocele, cystic kidneys
Term
define association and give examples
Definition
  • nonrandom occurence of multiple anomalies not known to be polytopic defect, sequence or syndrome
  • example- VACTERL assoc. (vertebral/anal/ atresia/cardiac/TE fistula/renal limb)
Term
most common cause of death in first trimester
Definition
chrom. abnormality
Term
most common cause of second trimester death
Definition
  • intrauterine infection
    • Group B strep
    • fusobact
    • Listeria monocytogenes
    • Treponema pallidum
Term

    • abruptio placenta
    • uncontroled gestational DM
    • hydrops fetalis
      • Rh incompatibility
      • heart defects
      • infections
Term
pathophysiology of hyaline membrane disease
Definition
  1. low surfactant in premature baby
  2. theres a high alveolar surface tension
  3. lead to hypoxemia and high CO2 levels
  4. this combines to cause acidosis
  5. acidosis leads to vasoconstriction of pulmonary vasculature
  6. this will cause hypoperfusion
  7. hypoperfusion leads to endothelial damage
  8. plasma will leak out fibrin, leading to hyaline membrane
Term
gross features of hyaline lung disease
Definition
  • solid
  • airless (it will sink when you place in water)
  • red
Term
microscopic features of RDS (acute, reparative)
Definition
  • acute- hyaline membranes
  • reparative (more than 48 hrs)- membranes organize and theire is metaplasia of bronchi
    • long standing healed bronchopulmonary dysplasia with prolonged ventilation or oxygen toxicity
    • larger airways due to squamous metaplasia
    • fibrosis of peribronchiole and interstitial
    • thickened alveolar walls
Term
pathophysiology of necrotizing enterocolitis
Definition
  • multifactorial
    • premature babies have immature bowels and poor IgA
    • perinatal asphyxia cause ischemic damage
    • abnormal colonization of bacteria
    • hypertonic formula feeding
Term
gross pathology features of necrotizing enterocolitis
Definition
  • dusky red
  • dilated and may have air bubbles
  • perforation
Term
microscopic features of necrotizing enterocolitis
Definition
  • early- coagulative necrosis
  • later- acute inflammation
    • pneumotosis
    • perforation
  • if healed- variable depending on injury extent, so you could be normal, have stenosis, or atresia
Term
Anatomic area of necrotizing colitis
Definition
  • terminmal ileum
  • cecum
  • right colon
Term
Most common CNS lesion in neonates
Definition
intraventricular hemorrhage
Term
anatomic source of intraventricular hemorrhage for premature infants and term infants
Definition
  • premature- subependymal germinal matrix full
  • term- choroid plexus
Term
pathogenesis of intraventricular hemorrhage
Definition
  • multifactorial
    • poor autoregulation of cerebral blood flow
    • germinal matrix with large capillary bed
    • excessive cerebral blood flow
Term
Pathology of intraventricular hemorrhage (different grades)
Definition
  • grade I- hemorrhage confined to germinal matrix
  • grade II- hemorrhage extends into ventricles
  • grade III- above plus secondary hydrocephalus
  • grade IV- above, with white matter necrosis
Term
typical cause and definition of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy
Definition
  • acute neurological dysfunction usually a consequence of severe birth asphyxia
Term
histopathology of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy
Definition
  • white matter is paeriventricular leukomalacia
  • grey matter
    • ulegyria
    • boundary zones
    • cortical laminal necrosis within basal ganglia, pons, hippocampus
Term
gross features of hypoxic ischemic necrosis
Definition
necrosis
Term
microscopic features of hypoxic ischemic necrosis
Definition
  • early- nuclear fragmentation
  • days-weeks- microglial, gifter cells
  • healed- gliosis, cysts
Term
Pathological features of arnold chiari
Definition
  • small posterior fosta
  • this leads to herniation of cerebellar vermis elongation of fourth ventricle (vermis extend through foramen magnum
  • distortion and notching of brainstem asociated with spina bifida (caudal displacement of medulla)

 

Term

Definition
  • aplasia of cerebellar vermis cystic dilation of fourth ventricle
  • large posterior fossa
  • upward displacement of torcula
